Communication - What might my toddler do? Understanding language is far more important to your toddler than actually speaking it. Once they really understand, they will communicate with you. Your toddlerâs first words are almost always labels (ie: names for people, animals) or other things that are important to them.
Baby sign promotes communication before a child is able to verbally communicate with others. Since gestures are part of normal speech, teaching baby sign allows infants to learn an aspect of communication that is used with language. It is not, however designed to replace language. Prior to any teaching of signs by adults, children will gesture while making babbling sounds or without babbling.
