Baby Sign is a pre-verbal means of communication with your baby.
Baby Signing for hearing children became popular in the 1980's through the research of Dr. Linda Acredolo and Dr. Susan Goodwyn. (Acredolo, Linda, Ph.D and Susan Goodwyn, Ph.D. Baby Sign: How to Talk with Your Baby Before Your Baby Can Talk. Contemporary Books, 1996.) Dr. Acredolo's daughter, Kate began using symbols to communicate before she could use words. They noticed this and began to develop a program to teach others to use sign language for hearing children.
If your child is waving to you, s/he is using sign language to communicate with you and is ready to learn more.
