Bilingualism and Baby Sign Language - Two questions I get asked regularly are: * What is the best way to introduce more than one language to my baby? * If introducing my baby to two languages already, how do I incorporate baby sign language into this process? In today's multi-cultural society, many children are exposed to more than one language from birth. Parents approach this differently but there are two predominant schools of thought on how to raise a bilingual baby: * The first is to separate the language by person * The second is to separate the language by place The first approach is also known as the "one parent one language" approach and is where one parent or caregiver uses one language while the other parent or caregiver uses another language. Using Baby Sign With Your Baby's Speech - Baby sign language has been shown to very beneficial to a baby's language development. So much so, that the typical language parameters of children are changing thanks to a child's ability to express themselves through baby sign from as early as 6 months of age. So how can a parent know if their child's language, listening and speech skills are developing normally? All children develop their language, listening and speech skills at different rates. Below you will find a chart based on a non-signing child's typical language development but this does not take into consideration the use of baby sign language with children. Please note that this table is a guide only. A Little Help On The Road To Talking - From the moment your baby is born, they begin to learn language skills from the people and environment around them. They slowly go through various stages of language development from babbling to gesturing until they finally develop speech. This final stage of language development is acquired through your baby listening to people talk, talking to others and also playing with sounds and words. So how can you as a parent help your baby on the road to talking? By introducing baby sign language into your home you can assist with your baby's language development and vocabulary building. Baby sign language helps bridge the gap of communication for parents by enabling pre-verbal babies to communicate using basic sign language. Baby sign language can help your baby's receptive and expressive language skills. Receptive skills are where your baby begins to understand what they are hearing. Can Baby Sign Language Delay Speech? - Using baby sign can help ease frustration for parents and babies during those preverbal times offering a simple form of communication to help enable babies to get them selves understood. But does using baby sign language actually delay speech? The short answer to this is no. Signing is a very good start to communicating as a babies physical development does not allow them to start speaking properly until around 18 months old. Communication is communication and using forms of sign and gestures are all very effective ways for a child to get their message across and get others to understand them. By using Auslan, the official sign language of Australia, as your form of baby sign language communication, you are enabling your baby to be able to communicate with a potentialy wider range of people and/or carers.
