Brent and I have had a long discussion about what we would like to teach our child and how to handle different situations that we will encounter as we raise our child into a responsible well educated person. After discussing numerous things, we decided that we are going to teach our child how to do sign language, aka baby sign language as they call it. Baby sign language became popular after the film, Meet the Fockers, came out. In the movie, the little grandson does sign language. Sign language is now considered to be a foreign language, isn't that neat. Baby sign language is first introduced to your child around the 6 to 7 month age. However, there are different questions you must answer yes to before your child can and will be successful at signing. On our weekend getaway, Brent and I purchased a baby sign language book to see how it is done and when to teach the signs. The first sign that you teach your little one is "more." You use sign language with spoken language at the same time. You first master a sign before introducing a new sign.
We have been reading in our book daily and are really excited about teaching our child this foreign language of signing, also we learn sign language also.
