The document discusses the benefits of sign language for babies and young children. It describes how sign language can help with language acquisition, cognitive development, behavior management, and reduced frustration by allowing children to communicate before speaking. The author recommends starting to introduce signs before birth and continuing through age 6. Resources for learning sign language include books, DVDs, online programs, and local signing groups or college courses.

Save Money On Fuel - carMy previous vehicle was a sports car, which got about 20 miles to the gallon. In 2004 I decided that I wanted to not only save money on gas, but to leave the smallest carbon footprint possible for each mile that I drive. So I traded in the sports car and bought a Honda Insight. It now has 140,000 miles on it and it is still getting over 50 miles to the gallon. I visit the gas station about once every three weeks.

Week 1
Hi my name is Gloria, I am sixty three years old, and I plan to graduate in October of 2016 with a Bachelor degree in Organization Manager. I have taken my entire course for my degree I am working on my elective course so I decided to take a minor in child hood development. I thought that it would be a good course since I have work with children all my life, raising ten children and only three from nature birth. I now work with Garland independent school district and come in contact with children every day. I community with people through knowledge, everyone come to me for advice, I listen to everyone problem and try to give the best advice possible and if I don’t have the answer we try to investigate and come up with the right one. I love helping people in any way that I could, planning on retiring from my job that I have been on for seventeen years with the school. After I retire if I have to go back to work I am leaning toward benign school counselor or an adviser working with children. That is if God allow me to do it.
Week 1 pt. 2
In the early childhood classroom, silence is not golden. Spoken words are opportunities for learning that should take place throughout the day - especially during conversations between children and between teachers and children.
Human language is a remarkable way to communicate. No other form of communication in the natural world transfers so much information in such a short period of time. It is even more remarkable that in three short years a child can hear, mimic, explore, practice, and finally, learn language.
Language learningthere is no genetic code that leads a child to speak English or Spanish or Japanese. Language is learned. We are born with the capacity to make 40 sounds and our genetics allows our brain to make associations between sounds and objects, actions, or ideas. The combination of these capabilities allows the creation of language. Sounds come to have meaning. The babbling sound "ma - ma - ma" of the infant becomes mama, and then mother. In the first years of life children listen, practice, and learn. The amusing sounds of a young toddler practicing language (in seemingly meaningless chatter) are really their modeling of the rhythm, tone, volume, and non-verbal expressions they see in us.
Language -with all of its magnificent complexity- is one of the greatest gifts we give our children. Yet, we so often treat our verbal communication with children in a casual way. It is a misconception that children learn language passively. Language acquisition is a product of active, repetitive, and complex learning. The child's brain is learning and changing more during language acquisition in the first six years of life than during any other cognitive ability he is working to acquire. How much easier this learning process can be for children when adults are active participants!
Adult’s help children learn language primarily by talking with them. It happen when a mother coos and ba.

The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

Signing with babies & young children
The benefits of sign language
What age to start?
Where do we go to learn to sign?
Kathy Robinson is the originator of award-winning child development programmes which use sign
language as a visual gestural clue to advance children’s development and learning. Inspired by her own
two deaf daughters, she created the BTEC Level 2 & Level 3 “Signing with Babies and Young Children”
distance learning course which is studied by parents and child-care professionals throughout the UK and
abroad with phenomenal results for children aged 0-6 years.
In this short article, she describes the benefits of sign language for babies and young children, at what age
to begin introducing signs and where to go to learn sign language.
Signing with babies & young children
British Sign language (BSL) is the language of the British Deaf Community and was recognised
as an official language by the European Parliament in 2003. As a visual gestural language, it
has a powerful impact on the growing brain and the spoken language development of hearing
babies and children because it “clues” infants into the meaning of words long before they are
able to speak.
Many signs are iconic, that is they look like the word they are meant to represent. For example,
“sleep” indicates a closing of the eyes and “drink” indicates drinking from a cup. Other signs
have strong associations; ‘red’ is associated with ‘lips’, ‘rabbit’ with ‘ears’, ‘walk’ with two fingers
‘walking’.
At a later stage these same memory clues (signs) together with fingerspelling (the spelling out
of words on the hands) support the speedy development of children’s reading, writing and
spelling skills.
Today, thousands of children in the U.K. are exposed to signs alongside speech in normal every
day activities through trained parents and carers. A signing revolution is happening in the home
and early years settings and children are loving it!
The benefits of sign language
Signing is fun! It’s quick and easy to learn for both you and your child.
By introducing key signs alongside the spoken word and using them in
everyday activities (e.g., singing, story-times, meal-times, outings) you and
your child will communicate on a deeper, fuller and more satisfying, level.
Research has highlighted the following benefits of signing with babies and young children:

3. • Reduced frustration
Through signs, babies and children are able to express their emotions, needs, and
wants before they are able to speak. For example, by modelling the sign for “milk” every
time you give your baby milk, they will learn to make the sign themselves. When you
see the sign, you know what your baby is asking for - and you give them milk. This way,
baby doesn’t have to cry for milk or experience the frustration of not being understood.
“I could understand him and he could understand me.” Carole, mother of Tre
• Language acquisition
Sign language gives meaning to spoken words and as a result, babies often learn to
speak from an earlier age. Young children exposed to sign language have broader
vocabularies which lay the foundations of literacy.
"I signed to Isaac from when he was born. At 10 months he could sign ‘milk, food,
please” and “thank you”. By 12 months he was signing “hat, duck, orange, milk, eat,
please, thank you, Mummy, Daddy. “ I also believe that signing has helped to develop
his spoken language as one of his first consistent words was “thank you”, not a typical
start to spoken vocabulary, but I had signed and said it every time I gave him
something. It’s so exciting to be allowed into his world and to have this connection.”
Erica, mother of Isaac
• Cognitive development
Using sign language alongside the spoken word supports your
child’s learning by stimulating the right and left hemispheres of
the brain. The meaning of the word is reinforced through
hearing the spoken word (auditory), seeing the sign (visual) &
making the physical movement of the sign (kinesthetic). This
creates additional avenues in your child’s brain to connect the
word with the concept which aids learning and development.
“The power of sign is amazing, our children are very young and
many do not use their voice. Sign somehow unlocks their
speech, they recognise the signs almost instantly and somehow
are able to say the word”. Teresa Kitto, Playgroup leader
• Behaviour Management
Babies and young children who learn to sign are more successfully able to convey their
needs which results in less aggressive behaviour (e.g.. biting, hitting, tantrums). In a
recent study, three-year old children were 61% more engaged during signed activities
than the control non-signing children.
What age to start?
Ideally, parents and carers start learning sign language before the baby
is born. This way, they can introduce signs in spoken phrases at
appropriate moments, “milk” when they are about to give the baby “milk”,
“walk” when they are about to go for a walk, “dog” when they see a dog.

4. The consistent repetition of signs as you speak will help babies to understand words. They will
be filing them in their brain, ready for the moment when they begin to use their hands to sign
and their voices to speak. Many parents however, start introducing
signs to their little ones from about four or five months or much
older. It is never too late to learn.
“Martha signed ‘Mummy’ yesterday. It was such a thrill. She also
signs ‘octopus’ and ‘duck’.”
Joanne, mother of 9 month-old Martha
Where do we go to learn to sign?
• www.signsforsuccess.co.uk offers signing programmes for parents and health-care professionals
• Ask your library about local baby signing groups in the area; they also may loan signing books
and signing DVDs
• Contact your local authority for a list of local colleges offering sign language courses (often part-
time/evening)
• Sign language books and DVDs are available to purchase from major book stores and through
internet websites
Signs for Success™
This resource has been written in association with Signs for Success.
For further information on the Signs for Success programmes, which can be carried out in the home with
your children and members of the family, please visit the Signs for Success website:
www.signsforsuccess.co.uk
Free signs are available for you to try out and practice with your little one!
Alternatively contact Kathy Robinson by email: kathy@signsforsuccess.co.uk
Sandra Valmary began using signs when Celeste was seven months old:
“The Signs for Success™ programme doesn’t teach sign language as such (though there are hundreds of
signs to learn), it shows how signing with babies and children can help you to achieve specific goals such
as expanding a child’s spoken language or building a strong positive relationship. There are numerous tips
and clues and paths to follow. And all the behaviour management signs together with the philosophy
espoused in the course helps me raise my child in a positive way, avoiding punishment, bribery and time
out. I don't think I’m the same mother I would have been.”
