Work often takes moms away from their children, but a new career idea actually brings moms and their babies closer while providing a way to earn money at home.
Here's the idea: There is a way a baby can tell his parents exactly what he wants months before he can talk. No, it's not magic or mindreading: It's baby sign language. Parents all over the country are seeing the value of teaching their hearing babies to communicate using baby sign language and this has created a need for baby sign language instructors.
A new system is available to help interested moms become baby sign language instructors within days and then market her services to parents in her local community. It is called Kindersigns Career Kit, available at KinderCareers.com - http://www.kindercareers.com.
The creator, Diane Ryan, is a speech pathologist who teaches baby sign language. She explains, "There is no experience or educational background necessary to teach baby sign language. All you need is a love of babies and the desire to teach parents how to better communicate with their baby."
Baby Sign Language Increases Trust and Decreases Frustration
Babies have a lot to say, but it takes many months before they can manipulate their little mouths, jaws and tongues to form words. When a hearing baby learns sign language, he gains the ability to communicate before he can speak. One mom of a signing baby confirms that baby's first sign can be just as exciting as a first word.
Researchers tell us that the early years are prime time for acquiring language skills. It has been proven that baby sign language does not delay speech. In fact, hearing children who learn sign language have been shown to have a larger vocabulary when they do begin to speak and they have scored as much as 12 points higher on IQ tests in later years.
Most importantly, baby sign language increases trust between parent and child and decreases frustration for young children who cannot yet communicate with speech. Even older children love the "secret" communication that they can have with their parents in even the quietest of places.
It has also been reported that older siblings who sign with their baby brother or sister benefit from the early communication and sibling rivalry is reduced.
Baby Sign Language in Hollywood
In the film "Meet the Fockers," twins and real-life baby signers, Bradley and Spencer Pickren, play a baby who uses baby sign language to talk to his grandfather played by Robert De Niro. TV's Debra Messing (Will and Grace) has taught her young son baby sign language and has described the joy of baby signing on talk shows such as Live with Regis and Kelly and The Tonight Show.
All of this media attention has increased interest in baby sign language and increases the demand for new instructors.
