I am very over hearing about the Swine Flu, between the news and school talking about it they have my seven year old terrified.
But I think it's great to teach babies signs to communicate when they don't feel well. I always explain to parents that one of my favorite benefits of teaching a baby to sign is that it can help them tell you when something is wrong, fever, ear infections, sore or headache..... things that are difficult to diagnose early otherwise.
I think the fact that parents can teach little ones to tell us if they don't feel well, especially if it is something like Swine Flu, might just save a life in the end.
I know everyone is tired of hearing about it, but I'm glad that they keep reminding everyone that it isn't OVER just yet.
