    that s wonderful baby, and i love that way the mom taught her

  • ruthfv123 says:

    My daughter just turned 10 month and she can sign about 20 words english and spanish. But Sometimes when I asker her to sign she doesn;t want to do it. So I think i will just sign when I am talking about that “word”.

  • SmartHandsCA says:

    Yes, that is what you should do. Normally I tell parents to sign for the word and not ‘ask’ babies to show off the sign. When I did these videos I just wanted to show other parents what babies are capable of so I would ask my daughter to show me the sign. However, in our everyday life and interaction I would only use the sign when we were using the word. So you are definitely doing the right thing! And 20 signs at 10 months is great! Keep up the wonderful work :-)

  • butterscotchriple says:

    this i agree is a very good tool to teach when there are young. children sometime goes death and if they know this they still can comunacate with other people. and if your learning ith the kids they always now what you are saying to them even though they cant hear. congrats on your baby havinmg this skill

  • TheWayeFam says:

    We also to baby signs. #1 Benefit – talk about taking the frustration and guessing out of activities. My baby gilr comes to be and sings “diaper change” after a poopy, which is awsome ’cause she has very sensitive skin. #1 mistake – getting her to show off her massive vocabulary of signing… it made her go on a signing strike for a couple weeks

  • SmartHandsCA says:

    Too cute :-)
    Yes, normally we suggest now getting babies to show off their signs for that reason. My daughter loved showing her signs so it was easy for me to do it for the videos to show other parents the benefits of signing with babies. We rarely asked her to show the signs in everyday life.

  • tubanera says:

    hi laura, im from el centro CA, we talk before. My baby boy its 11 1/2 months end I trying to teach signs but he dont put much atencion to me. What I can do?
    a boy its so hard to teach? Im sorry for my english I from mexico.

  • SmartHandsCA says:

    Boys can sometimes pick it up a little slower but don’t give up! He’s still fairly young. Some babies pick it up faster than others. Maybe join our facebook group and you’ll see some other moms who have this same concern and people’s responses to it. I’d say just keep being consistent, make sure you sign the word every time you say it.

    you’re a great mom…we should dedicate our time and our lifes so that our children would be educated. This is so important for each one of them, but iven if sometimes we dont realise. Children are God’s blessings.
