Tuesday’s Top Tip 😊… Trust the process!
Babies need time to recognise and understand gestures and signs - just as they do with spoken language. The secret is consistency. When signing becomes part of your everyday routine, it becomes a habit and a natural part of the way you communicate together.
Think about waving 🤗. It’s often the very first gesture babies learn, and that’s no surprise. They see it frequently used by everyone around them, it’s fun, and it always gets a lovely reaction 🥰.
The same principle applies to other meaningful gestures and signs. Choose the ones that matter most to your baby - milk, more, finished, bath, music - and use them consistently and regularly. Over time, their understanding grows… and those magical first signs will begin to appear.
Trust the process. Keep showing, keep modelling, and keep enjoying signing together 🥰.
