Signing With Your Baby
Filed in archive Parenting by Melissa Petri on January 16, 2007

. Instead, they have problems expressing their needs. They do not have the language skills to tell their parents what they want or need and this makes them frustrated. As frustrated as their parents who are trying very hard to understand what it is they want and need. One of the best ways to tame your child's terrible twos is by teaching him/her sign language. You can teach simple signs which could make it easier for him/her to communicate with you thus, sparing you both from guesswork and frustration.
Rory of Hamelife started signing when his daughter turned 9-months. He started teaching her with 10 words: More, Feed, Mummy, Daddy, Thank You, Home, Hot, Toilet, Water and Help.
You could try it out yourself.
Open those communication lines early and spare your child all those frustrating crying bouts.
