However, it is essential to keep in mind that a baby has a limited attention span and too much of information may result in more damage than good. These facts have been proven by baby sign language research.

The inability to communicate effectively usually leads to frustration that manifests itself in the form of tantrums. Hence, it is essential to pay attention to your baby to understand what he or she is asking for.

This prevents unruly behavior. The attention given also strengthens the bond between parent and child and also assists in the emotional development of the child, making him or her more secure.

Baby Sign Language Charts

Sign language charts are commonly used by people who have hearing or speech impediments. However, these charts can be of great use in training your toddler in sign language. Communication, being one of the most important aspects of social developments, it is necessary for people to be able to communicate with each other.

Because of the use of the hands and the rest of the body, the child's motor skills develop rapidly and this helps to bring in greater understanding of receptive and expressive speech patterns. However, deciding upon the importance of sign language ultimately lies with the parent.
