Using sign language when reading with your baby is fun and it is important to keep it relevant to your baby. Choose books that have words that interest your baby so you can model the sign while keeping your babies attention. Choose stories that rhyme like nursery rhymes. Babies love the repeating song and this makes it easier to practice the signs by repeating them A LOT!! Just pick a few words so as not to overload your baby and have fun. Happy Signing!!

]]> Comment on Language And Literacy-Building Activities For Babies by KathyN http://ebabyhealth.com/baby-health/language-and-literacy-building-activities-for-babies/comment-page-1/#comment-92 KathyN Wed, 30 Dec 2009 13:25:28 +0000 http://ezinearticles.com/?Language-And-Literacy-Building-Activities-For-Babies&id=2776523#comment-92 The Baby Signs(R) Program helps to increase language literacy and uses literacy building activities that help to improve babies verbal skills. Parents love baby signs because their baby can communicate their wants and needs with signs like eat,more and hot. This communication creates a better parent/baby bond and helps babies learn to talk before they can talk. Two decades of research have proven that parents that sign with baby promote a positve emotional development and jumpstart intellectual development. Babies love sign language because they can share their worlds and their frustration level is reduced. Our literacy building activities are fun for the entire family and everone enjoys signing with baby! You can start with a few signs or choose as many as you want. Happy Signing!

The big problem is having some words, but not enough words yet. The result can be a tantrum. The comment about the candy aisle at the grocery store as a trigger point for tantrums is really good. Parents might want to start a trigger list for times when it isn't just frustration or a snack. What was the child doing? What time of day? What day of the week? What had he just eaten? Who was he with? Where was he? It may be that the carpet in Aunt Grace and Uncle George's home upsets his system (I'm sure it's not Aunt Grace and Uncle George), or if he's late getting to nap time. Once you have a list of tantrum triggers you can help prevent them and life is a lot easier.

This phrase: "Be consistent. We cannot emphasize this enough. It is the foundation of parenting," is at the basis of what I believe good parenting is about. Great stuff!
