Communication, Sign Language, and Social Media

There are some who are not sure what social media is or what the term actually means. For those, here is a simple explanation. It is communication!  

Whether you are a baby trying to let your Mommy know you are hungry, or a company trying to get your message or product out to others—it takes Communication Skills.

 

The basic needs of a baby are usually understood within days of its birth—hunger, tired, or wet. Crying is their only way of communicating.  But as the baby grows, their need to let us know what they want becomes more complicated and more urgent. At least to that baby.  So what is the easiest way to help your child communicate their need or wants? Sign language. 

 

 

Babies’ pre-verbal communication is made easy with signing. Baby sign language helps babies who are not quite ready to speak but are ready to communicate—a sort of bridge gap (so to speak).  Your baby can let you know when they are ready for milk or sleepy (tired). Sign language is easy to learn and so simple for your child to use.

 

Many researchers believe that sign language gives your child a great beginning to communicating. It may also lead to better cognitive skills and is recognized as a second language. Imagine the start you give to your child’s life and learning. You are expanding their vocabulary and their world.

 

By teaching your baby to sign, you give them a "tool to communicate effectively". Signing saves both parent and child frustration and allows a connection to be made where understanding is the aim. Meeting that goal serves 2 needs: a way for your baby to get exactly what they need without having to cry for it and the first step to expressing a want. A baby has to have time for its vocal chords to develop; it is part of the growing process. Learning simple hand gestures is so much easier for them to do and understand.  Baby steps are how we all begin, in any facet of Life.

 

Not being able to communicate is very frustrating for anyone. Lacking the ability to communicate your feelings or wishes is the same experience for child and adult alike. There is a definite benefit to giving your baby the gift of expressing their needs.

 

In the business world, that is what social media managing is all about.  It bridges the gap between social medias (Facebook, Twitter, Google, Pinterest, etc.) and your business, in a social and personal context. This bridge is completed through online, websites, smart phones, and emails. The goal is sharing what you have to offer to as many people as possible.
