I had some fun today creating a lens over at Squidoo.com about teaching babies sign language. I'd love to have you take a peek... Baby Signs ~ Powerful Language
American Sign Language is actually a very simple, intuitive physical way of communicating and babies pick up the signs easily. Perhaps you could even say they know many of them instinctively.
Actually, I've suspect that the language developed by someone observing an infant and watching their gestures. The hand positions you see in the little one in the highchair above are not unusual for an infant that age. This baby is actually signing "more". And how wonderful when baby and parent or caregiver are on the same page!
As you can imagine, especially if you've ever been confronted with a baby determined to communicate something specific that you are absolutely clueless about... being ab
le to share a language with your baby is a HUGE frustration reducer!! ;-)So get over and check that lens...you'll pick up a sign or two!
Oh...by the way... did you notice I have YOUTUBE feed showing on my blog? I'm not controlling what comes up...it's a new deal that uses key words related to the blog...so it could get weird. Share your feedback and we'll see if this catches on!!!
Have FUN!
