Well it’s on for a limited time. Any parent who is keen to teach their little one some signs (from 6 months +), first get your head around the ins and outs at Do I get on this baby sign bandwagon or not?…..
And if you’re still keen to give your little one a great brain workout (and yourself!!!), here is your first challenge.
Find as many opportunities to sign ‘MORE‘ to your little one as you can. By clicking on the link, you will see how to do the ‘more’ sign. This is in Auslan, so if you are not in Australia, you will need to take a look for a similar sign search website for your country’s sign language.
At first, you will just be modelling it (like you’ve been modelling how to talk all this time) and always saying the word. The aim of spending a whole week just on one sign is to get into the habit of doing it anywhere and everywhere, NOT to get your little one signing it in one week……This will come!
A few examples of where you might sign ‘more’..
- more bath toys
- more cereal
- more (insert favourite song)
- more blocks up on the tower…..
If your baby lets you, you can take their hand and show them how to do it. One thing to remember… don’t hold things back from your child because they aren’t attempting the sign. You would only do this once you have SEEN your little one doing it at least once.
If you have any other questions, please ask away!
