Communicating with infants and toddlers can be such a challenge! I'm a firm believer in baby sign language, and have used it with both of my kids. It's been a life saver, and I often recommend it to other parents. That's why I was so excited to connect with Laura Berg, Founder of My Smart Hands, and Author of The Baby Signing Bible and to have the chance include a guest post from her about the benefits of teaching baby sign to your children. Enjoy!

Baby signing was once thought to be a fad but now we know it is here
to stay and is a great tool for parents to use when raising their
children. It can be very nerve-racking when your baby is crying and you
have no idea why. Let the guessing game begin! Not a fun game to play,
one that can be frustrating to both parent and baby. Sign language has
lessened the frustration of not knowing what your baby wants. Because
babies are able to sign before they can speak they are able to
communicate to you at a much earlier age taking that annoying, and not
fun, guessing game out of the equation. Plus, teaching your baby sign
language is fun! You don’t have to have any prior knowledge of sign
language, you can easily learn as your baby does. It is really rather
simple to do. Just look up a sign for a word that you’d like to teach
and show the baby that word. Pick just a couple of words to start with.
Milk is a great first sign to teach because it is such a huge part of
the baby’s day. A few other great signs are eat, more, finished, mommy,
daddy or any item that your baby is interested in. You’ll find signing
opens up a whole new world of communication for you and your baby! Be
consistent and have fun!
