Why Is It Essential to Help Your Baby Learn Sign Language?

por Sherita Hartmann (25/09/2022)


Do you know that common signs such as eat, sleep, play, etc. are called baby signs. A lot of people get mixed up between Baby Signs and American Sign Language, but they aren't considered the same thing. Baby Sign is learned by hearing parents, and they don't have any relationship with the Deaf community, are not familiar with Deaf culture, and are not fluent in American Sign Language.

Why help your baby learn sign language?

Learning Sign Language as Babies Creates Open Mindedness
The Deaf communitys main language is American Sign Language. Once the little ones grow up, and they like to keep learning American Sign Language, they'll additionally learn more about the Deaf community and also culture. Kids will probably encounter D/deaf individuals sometime in their lives, and when the hearing kids understand basic signs, it could strengthen their friendships with D/deaf individuals.

Learning Sign Language as Babies is actually a Positive Addition
When babies learn Baby Sign, this might result in wanting to learn American Sign Language when babies become older. Besides English and a 2nd language that the family uses, they would learn American Sign Language as a third language, which in turn can enhance their cv's.
