NOLA Baby Sign Language Classes
There’s a lot of hype on potential benefits & possible pitfalls to using baby sign language with a hearing baby. We use a simple, 3-prong approach to baby sign language. 1- see, 2- hear, 3- connect Babies’ organic preference for language is not limited to spoken word. A study by K&W suggests infants (with no prior exposure to sign) are more interested in ASL than pantomime. Parents using sign language feel in-sync with their baby’s pre-lingual wants and needs. The connection made through a shared language can decrease frustration and lay the groundwork for healthy communication patterns. Socialization is another Baby Sign bonus. Babies and tots using “please” and “thank you” are better adjusted to playdate & preschool formalities.
