Sign Language Potty Training

Baby sign language is an outstanding tool for connecting with your pre-verbal infant or toddler.  It is universally known that babies under one can unreservedly recognize simple signs. This understanding facilitates communication.

The different signs showcased by the toddlers and infants for potty time offers your baby a way to tell you they need your help to go to the potty or toilet. Firstly it will be recognition of the needs of their body, perhaps as they go, moments before or after.

Sign language can be termed as a bridge between our pre-verbal babies and our verbal culture. With the use of sign language, you are giving them a 'tool' they may use to communicate with you. The parents or caregivers visual memories are older, so babies readily recognize signs as soon as they are able. Around one year is common for signing to really pick up, though earlier and later are just as possible. Keep practicing, look for recognition of signs before your baby will use them to communicate' to you.

Choosing an apposite sign or natural gesture should be simple, so your baby can unskillfully imitate it, and always be used with the spoken word and loving eye contact.

We are going to tackle the three most important tips that will make it easy for you to sign regularly in your day so that baby sign language and infant potty training are simply integrated normal parts of your lifestyle.

3 Strategies to Remember with Infant Potty training using Baby Sign Language:
1. Make your chosen sign each time you approach the potty
2. Make your sign whenever your babe is on the potty
3. Use the sign to 'ask' if your babe wants to use their potty- respond to their excitement, respect their reservations.
 

With these 3 simple steps you'll be adding baby sign language to your elimination communication (EC) moments with a lot of ease. From time to time .your infant will display great consciousness and control. They'll sign clearly and in a timely way though other times they won't.

Expect your practicing of baby sign language and of EC to ebb and flow. Like any natural process there will be flashes of amazing communication, the reason families get hooked on elimination communication.

See this as an ideal and fleeting sign of the future, not an expectation they'll be toilet independent at a very early age. EC is something you practice regularly; make it a part of your lifestyle, rather than a method or results based activity like the orthodox potty or toilet training.

Last and not least, Baby Sign Language and EC are great partners in helping your child to communicate with you as soon as they are able to. You'll gradually reduce your use of diapers or cloth nappies, helping in conserving the environment, saving you money and best of all, enjoying a new aspect in the bond you share with your baby.
