May 2-8th, 2010 is National Teacher’s Appreciation Week, a time set aside to reflect and appreciate our educators then and now, as well as to show just how much we value their service to the academic and creative advancement of not only our children, but us as well.
Studies show that infants and toddlers, though unable to verbally express their wants and needs yet, can communicate through the use of sign language with much success.
Imagine wanting water and not being able to tell someone, or needing help putting on your shoes, but nobody can understand you. Sometimes crying is not enough. With sign language, not only is the distress on the caregiver and child alleviated, but the child is learning a second language that he or she can use the rest of their life.
