Baby Signing Workshop in Harlingen

You're Invited!
Baby Signing Workshop


Around six or seven months, a baby's cognitive abilities will be developed enough to begin teaching sign language. Baby will already understand the power of vocalization — they cry and you pick them up — but you might not know if they're hungry, needs a change, or is in pain. By 8 to 12 months they may start signing back. Baby sign language gives them a tool to express needs and wants exactly.
