Sign Language For Toddlers Please

Sign language, a terrific way to give a voice to the little ones who have not yet mastered words. When my eleven-month- old granddaughter learned “drink” and “hungry” and “tired” at her day care center I was amazed and that was eleven years ago. I was partly amazed that out of the millions of caring adults, no one had thought of it before. Sign language, a language of hand, A language we can teach our children Before they master spoken words Sign language, a standard practice, and so wise, so smart, So wonderful that a caring, loving preschool teacher Figured it out. Because it always starts with One person who truly And completely cares. Thank you, whoever you are, As it has eliminated many tantrums And miscommunications And it has helped so many Two’s and three’s convey Their needs without the Throwing on the floor, And the slamming into Walls we used to do. Frustrated beyond Forever, not Knowing how to Yet use Words.
