And we’re like, okay, well you’re not crying because you need your diaper changed, you’re crying because you’re hungry, and we can fix that, we can help you with that problem and give them their bottle a little earlier.”Coreano’s teaching is hands-on. She noted that babies often have to point or put things in your face instead of saying what they want. Skills are built over time, with a new word introduced every month to help expand their developing minds and limited communication skills.”We go through more. Thank you. Please. All done. And eat,” Coreano said.The benefits of learning sign language extend beyond the classroom. Coreano shared, “Parents are so excited when the littles go home and they’re doing the signs and they’re able to communicate with them on a one-on-one and be able to finally, like have that little bond.”DOWNLOAD the free Gulf Coast News app for your latest news and alerts on breaking news, weather, sports, entertainment, and more on your phone or tablet.
