AskDrSears.com - FAQ "MORE BABY SIGN LANGUAGE"

"Dear Dr. Sears,
Thank you for all your books and wonderful advice!!! You make me so excited to become a parent!!!! I also come from a big family...all nine of us!
My question is: is baby-signing good? There are numerous books out there about how to sign with your baby to improve better communication and connection....My main concern is that it may impede the baby from wanting to verbally talk and just resort to signing only...is this true or a valid concern? Please share your thought!
Many thanks for all you do!"

Since my last entry on this subject (June �05 click here), baby sign language has become even more popular. These kids� show no delay in their verbal language skills. Like I said earlier, it is great for an older child to know sign language so you can silently communicate if needed (like in church). And, yes, I finally saw the movie �Meet the Fockers� � Great movie!
