I'm thinking of teaching my 1 year old, I know that they say that once they start waving bye-bye they are capable of doing it. I just want to see whats the appropiate age to actually learn it!
Thanks in Advance
At What Age Does a Baby Actually Learn and Do the Basic Sign Language?

Typically around 9 mos children begin to have the ability to communicate with nonverbal communication. Signs we take for granted such as waving, pointing and holding arms up to indicate a wish to be carried may indicate your infant may be ready to add a few more. I often recommend "Signing time" videos to my patients. Its a great series; my patients and my own children enjoy them. Teaching them to sign is a great way to start communicating with your child. I applaud you for looking into it.
