Sarah learned her first 10 signs at six month and it made our lives much easier. Instead of screaming, she could tell us when she was hungry, thirsty, or tired. She learned another 50 signs by nine months and that was a blast. Now she is talking much earlier than the other children in her preschool and we think it is because of her signing.
We can’t imagine missing out on all the little things she shared with baby sign language. Thank You!

Everyone thought I was nuts when I started. A month later, all my friends saw Michelle’s first signs. Then they wanted to know how they could start.
Michelle is talking now and doesn’t sign much anymore, but it gave her a headstart over other children her age. Everyone says she talks like a three year old. Now she is helping me teach her baby brother Jordan how to sign.

Love the free downloads…thank you very much
This is a wonderful site for me to help my daughter communicate with us until she starts to talk more. Thank you for all of the posters. Keep up the wonderful work.
This is a wonderful site. I love the videos, they really clarify the symbols. I am recommending this site to everyone I know because you never know what may happen during childhood development. My best friend has an autistic child. I suggested that she learn sign language to communicate with him. I am also teaching my 17 month old to sign and he is doing very well. Everyone thinks he is so smart!!
I have been teaching my 8 and 2 yr old Spanish and sign language simultaneously. We learn a new word or phrase in both languages each day. This site will make this much easier with your flash cards. Thanks so much.
My baby is 9.5 months old and she leans thing pretty quick, I want to teach her and my self signing but I’m verry bad at teaching it. I’ve tried but she neveR pays attention to what I’m doing or how I’m doing it, she loves looking around and hates sitting still how can I teach her so she’ll learn?
Hi Renee, babies learn by imitation and repetition. They will mimic what they see reinforced in their environment. Many studies show that babies learn to listen even while still in the womb. Don’t be discourage by your baby’s interest to engage with other things in her environment. Instead use these opportunities to reinforce signs. For example, if your baby becomes engaged with a certain toy teach her the name of the toy as well as the sign. Before you know it she will surprise and delight you. Signing for babies is quite easy and every mom can do it. To remind yourself of the importance of repetition go ahead and print our signing for babies chart .
hi my daughter just turned two she knows all the basics and is going into putting sentences together she has speech apraxia but can hear fair most baby signs im finding is one word and i dont know if im putting the phrases together right like are you thristy , do you have to pee, lets go bye bye , it just seems like shes bored and i want to use more everyday sign with her.
Our 9 month old daughter seems really close to saying her first word. We were just recently told about teaching babies to use sign language. Is it too late to teach a child to sign if she’s already trying to speak?
ADMIN – Hi Guy,
9 months is a fine age to start her. Sign language tends to help babies with speech acquisition. You will notice that when she starts talking her words will often be difficult to understand. When she accompanies the word with the sign, it will be much easier for you to understand her and she will be encouraged to keep on speaking and signing. Signing will also help you as a bridge in the early days of her speaking when she will find it much easier to grow her signing vocabulary that her spoken vocabulary due to the difficulty of making some of the more complex sounds that we use in our spoken language.
that is so sweet for yall to make dhz website for baby to learn
I was first introduced to baby signs in 1998 when my niece, Taylor who was born with downs, was being taught signing in her therapy. I was amazed at how fast she was able to pick it up. When Taylor was 2 she had a sign vocabulary of 126 words. In 2000 I had my 3rd baby and when he turned 6 months old, we began teaching him the basic signs like more, drink, eat, play, and all done. My son was about 19 months old when he began to speak and even though it was hard to understand his words, through his signing, we were able to communicate with him. His ability to communicate with us through sign made for a very happy baby who didn’t cry much. For the parents who question if they can teach this to their babies, just remember repeating yourself to your baby and continuing to show the sign at the same time will work. Work on 1 word at a time to make it easier for you and your baby. Good luck!!
this is really cool and it helps and my baby is a happy baby<3
My grandson is 8mths old and I have been teaching him to sign for 2 mths now and he seems to watch me when I sign but he hasn’t done one yet….am I just being impatient?
