Baby signing with our Toddler
by Carolyn
(Vancouver Canada )
Our son started using signs to communicate at 8 months old. It was a real life saver to avoid melt downs because he could easily 'tell us' what he wanted.
The first ones he learned were Milk, More and All Done.
From there we progressed to his favourite foods, manners (such as please and thank you) etc. He is 15 old now and I am so glad we taught him signs.
He uses verbal and signs now.
