Just wondering if anyone has heard about
teaching sign language to a baby?? I've
been hearing a lot about it.. And found
it very interesting. Has anyone tried
it??
Yeah, it's very popular right now. If
you have the time and money I think it's a
good idea. I wish I would have have been
more interested when I had mine.

I was hoping to actually find a website
with the signs they recommend. Etc....
Haven't yet. But amazon seems to have
lots of books on the topic.
It's not very common yet, it's probably
hard to find someone who's done it before.

I think that's really interesting. And a
really good idea. I think I might try
that when I have kids. If I have money
for a course like that... Or maybe even
try it myself.... It's worth a try.

i may order a book from amazon.Ca i'll
let you know if it's interesting. I
figure it can't hurt to try :) sound like
lots of fun. I can take a couple months
for the baby to start using it... But hey

Cool. Sounds good. Maybe I should start
refreshing my memory of some of the
signs... Might come in handy later.

I do sign language with my 3 year old
nephew. He has down syndrome so its a
really good thing for him as he has very
little speech just now so it helps him
communicate with us. In the process
of teaching his 1year old brother now.
Also im in the process of learning another
sign language called makaton which we use
at my work (i work with children) this
really helps children with autism etc as
again it helps them with communication
etc.
