Our babies are trying to communicate with us even before they have the words to tell us what they want. Our children's inability to get us to understand them can often lead to frustration and crying. Intro to Baby Sign will talk about how to use sign language with your child and learn some basic signs to get you started. Babies exposed to sign language will typically begin to use the signs themselves around six months of age. Better communication can mean a less fussy baby and a less frustrated child.
