Children are able to communicate by signing before they develop the
skills necessary for speech. By teaching simple sign language to
children from as young as eight months, we can help them to convey their
emotions and their needs. When children begin to talk, having sign
language to fall back on provides a comforting safety net. Add to the
fun of signing by singing well-known nursery rhymes and songs. Even
proficient speakers will long enjoy signing to a favourite song or
rhyme. Simple and clear signing instructions allow anyone to join in.
