Now that your child is 2 years old you may be wondering whether signing will still be an important role in your toddlers daily development. You have come a long way since you began signing with your child and now that he/she may be entering preschool and soon the kindergarten years you might be surprised how signing can be of use to you.
Your child is now learning and understanding his/her capabilities of independence, improved language skills and social interaction and signing will help develop all of these areas by giving a way to communicate when frustrated or can't yet say the words.
Potty Training - something that you will be facing soon if you haven't already. Using signs is a discrete way to overcome any embarrassment that your child may have if he/she needs to go or has missed the opportunity. Signs such as potty, change, wet or dirty can help signal/alert you that it is time for action.
Has signing with your toddler helped you in anyway when potty training or have you experienced any funny or eye opening experiences that you would like to share?
