attentive mother- Re: Has anyone notice this?

[Guest guest]

My thirteen year old was not verbal and he went through a hitting buying stage

because he couldn't get his point across. I vowed that my other children would

not suffer. I only hope my new son is verbal as well.

Wow, I heard girls can be more verbal than boys but that is impressive!

baby sign language videos are great for this. It takes so much

frustration out because at a very young age (before 12 months old) they

can learn such simple hand gestures/signs. It helped me so much with my

4th child because I had the hardest time understanding his words. I

felt like we were playing charades.

My kids all thought it was fun to watch the baby sign langauge videos

as well so they could talk to him.

He talks pretty good now at 4.5yrs old. Just today he told me I was

wasting gas because I turned on the engine but hadn't pulled out yet.
