Talk
to your baby and toddler before they even learn to speak! Wouldn't
it be great to know why your baby is crying? Or why your toddler
is upset? Teaching them to sign what they want/feel/need is a wonderful
way to help them communicate with you, and boost their IQ and vocabulary!
Remember...it
is NEVER too early or too late to start signing with your child!
Though many children will nto start signing until they are much
older, some start signing as young as 2
months, and may even be signing in 2-3 word sentences by 6
months. With consistent signing, you will have a 2 year old with
a vocabulary of 300 or more words! And with older children, you can
use sign to speak through windows, and across rooms, without having
to yell! Signing is really great for all ages!
Signing is also a great way to help children with special
needs such as Autism and Downs
Syndrome efficiently communicate with their family, friends,
and teachers! We are also now offering Everyday
Signs in the Community for staff working with adults
with developmental delays. You can learn more about this program here as
well as pricing for this program on our programs page.
Many tantrums and the "Terrible Twos" are directly linked to frustration about communication. There is less frustration when your child can augment their communication skills with signs that both of you can understand.
Research conclusively indicates that babies who sign tend
to have a stronger command of verbal language and often
begin speaking at an earlier age than
babies who do not sign. Countless parents and caregivers have confirmed
these findings with their personal experiences and observations.
In addition, many Speech-Language professionals, pediatricians,
and educators are supporting
the use of signs to encourage early language development. Classes
are available for babies and young children ages 0 to preschool!

*Before an instructor can get licensed
with Wee Hands, each candidate must meet a rigorous set of
qualifications and prerequisites,
unlike some other programs, where you just pay a fee. This
is to ensure your instructor is knowledgeable about ASL,
child
development, and the techniques you need to learn
to communicate with your child!
