The Babysigns concept has existed in the US for the past 20 years and now for the past several years in several surrounding EU countries such as Germany, England and Belgium.Parents. daycare centres and community healthcare organizations all over the world are using sign language to communicate with their hearing baby's and children. The benefits of using this technique have rapidly become clear for those involved and it's popularity has been growing ever since. 

Although a baby is unable to speak until he or she has reached an average age of a year and a half they are ready to communicate a lot earlier. Between 6 months to 9 months old, a baby's brain has developed enough memory and cognitive ability and is therefore capable of conveying and communicating thoughts and emotions. Think of an airplane in the sky or a few ducks swimming in a pond, a child may see them and want to let you know they are thinking about them. By using Babysigns you can discover what your baby is thinking about! 

Tantrums and biting can be reduced and can even become a thing of the past. The child will be happier and family ties can be strengthened in a playful and joyful manner.  

One of the things that we think is of great importance is the fact that research has proven that children who use sign language gain a headstart when it comes to reading, writing and oral skills. In other words, by using sign language your child gets the best possible start in life and it is all done in an educational yet fun way!
