EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Signing, Speaking, Languages / Re: Learn Spoken Words from Signing?

Hi, As you mentioned I also started showing my baby signing DVD around 10months and few signs she picked up in couple of weeks. She started speaking few words since 13months. Now she;s 15months and I have realised that the words that she knows the signs for like milk, more, elephant, giraffe, monkey etc...she doesn;t speak those words no matter how many times we use it in a day. While some other words that she doesn't know the sign for like bib, kick, throw etc...she speaks them and also tries to repeat other new words.
I feel signing has helped her to communicate earlier on but now since i noticed it...i've stopped showing her the signing DVD. She learned quite a lot from it and loved the animals shown.
I think it depends on child to child, it can be helpful for kids who start speaking late. I feel the best thing (heard from other friends and our parents) is speaking to child ourselves more and more, so as to help build the vocab. and encourage them to speak. That;s why its generally seen that the second child speaks earlier than the 1st one.

Hi Krisha,
We are from India but currently based in Singapore. Can very well understand your concerns. I feel that mothers are the best judge of their kids, so whatever you feel is right for your child...please do that.
In India, infant education is yet to gain popularity and whenever we mention to anyone (our friends and family)...they too feel that it’s too much and we should let kids grow up without this pressure.
I personally believe in it (even though my husband doesn’t) and follow (whatever little can do for my baby).
So please continue to give your baby as much as you can. HAVE FUN!!
