Re:Signing & multilngualism - 2008/01/15 23:51
Hi Emily

I use baby sign language with my baby and think its fantastic! He started to sign back to me at 6 months old, and by 8 months he was using lots of signs. He is now 21 months old and uses signs to re-enforce the words he is trying to say. I definately think it has helped his development and the staff and a language therapist at the nursery have all commented on how advanced his communication skills are. I have also read that research in the US has proven an increase in IQ in kids who used signing as babies. See this article http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/AmericanFamily/Story?id=521213&page=1

I don't go to a baby sign class, instead I use this site http://www.babysignlanguage.co.uk

Since using baby sign language I have become interested in teaching my baby other languages – that’s why I joined the ML network
