@speechsisters: ❤️Before your baby starts to say their first words it is typical for them to use gestures! The best way for your little one to learn how to use gestures is to MODEL THEM!! Although gestures may not start to emerge until 8-9 months old we encourage you to start introducing them to your baby sooner than that! It’s important to pair a word with the gesture you are using, so if you... 👏🏼 Clap → say “Yay!” 👋🏽 Wave → say “Hi!” or “Bye!” 👐🏼 Put Arms Up → say “UP!” 💋Blow a Kiss → say “Mwah!” 🙏🏿High-five → say “Good Job!” 👆🏾Point → say “Look at __” OR “I want ___” 🙅🏾‍♂️Shake Head No → say “No!” 💁🏻‍♀️Nod Head Yes → say “Yes!” 🇮🇹 If you come from an Italian family like ours using gestures comes naturally, but if not, it doesn’t have to be that difficult. 👶Teaching your baby gestures can be easy! 🚶‍♀️Whether on walks, during playtime, or running errands, label and model gestures as you are going through your daily routines 💪 #gestures #kids #toddlers #parents #MomsofTikTok #speechtherapy #infants
