Here are a few helpful hints to help you each your baby sign language:

• Look for your baby’s version of the sign. Babies will not always make a sign correctly the first time they sign it. Keep signing the word the correct way and your baby will soon grow more accurate.
• Praise any sign of a sign.  When the baby uses a sign correctly, praise and support your baby.
• Don’t just sign—speak every time you sign and emphasize the word you are signing.
• Sign any time and everywhere.  Signing with your baby works best when it's worked into your life as a natural means of communication instead of something you only do part of the time or only in certain places.
• Be patient. Babies can take weeks or even months before they make their first sign.
• Use your baby’s sign. Sometimes a baby will create a sign.  Applaud her creativity and incorporate her sign.
• Enjoy the amazing experience you are having seeing in to your child’s mind.
