Research has proven that signing with your baby is a useful and beneficial alternative, helping children to "speak" before they can talk. The same research indicated that signing babies scored higher in intelligence tests, understood more words and had larger vocabularies. Parents reported having better parenting experiences, increased communication with their child and decreased frustration. Signing babies follow this developmental pattern: first they begin to sign, then they can sign while saying the word, finally, they drop the sign and use only the word.
