Wisdom Beyond Their Years
At birth, it's estimated that a newborn's brain has over 100 billion brain cells.
They know and understand far more than we realize. Pediatric science is
steadily revealing how surprisingly intelligent our babies and toddlers actually
are. Studies also show that when young children are taught to sign, their brains
actually become more developed, both cognitively and physically - resulting in
one positive benefit after another. Here are just a few of those benefits:
