Although you will, of course, tune into the needs of your baby, from six months old, baby signing can be used to help your child let you know what they want and how they feel. For example, rather than trying to guess whether a cry means your baby is wants milk, is hungry or tired, they can let you know through making a sign. Babies can understand so much before they can talk, and baby sign helps them communicate with you. They might tell you that they are excited to have seen a bird, or that they are looking forward to bathtime.

The Gower School is proud to be the first accredited baby sign language school in North London. All staff have been involved in an intensive training programme to achieve this.
