Most parents assume that there is a small window of opporunity for teaching children sign, around 6-12 months. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While this is a great time to start, so little ones can communicate it is not the only time.Signing with kids 12 months to 3 years is also great especially for children who are not yet speaking much. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have a toddler who has tantrums or can not tell you their needs then signs can help facilitate communication between you both. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also kids at this age learn the signs much faster so can learn more signing vocabulary in a much shorter span of time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sign language has been proven to improve babies and toddlers vocabulary and cognitive skills. So if you want to know what is going on in your little ones mind sign up now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" src="http://spreadsheets.google.com/embeddedform?key=pk0-p-ERpSe-v3G76LxGofQ" frameborder="0" width="500" height="596"&gt;Loading...&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079521625042906343-1564073870128384479?l=signandplay.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://signandplay.blogspot.com/feeds/1564073870128384479/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://signandplay.blogspot.com/2009/03/english-baby-sign-classes-finally.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079521625042906343/posts/default/1564073870128384479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1079521625042906343/posts/default/1564073870128384479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://signandplay.blogspot.com/2009/03/english-baby-sign-classes-finally.html' title=''/><author><name>Angie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05128829233267648741</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jDn53NsKjXM/ScJWxEYgl0I/AAAAAAAAAAg/tO3kIxPqAcE/S220/DSC03492.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
