I have tried teaching sign language to my first born but failed big time because she couldn't do much with fine motors. By the time she could master some skills, she has already started to communicate verbally. She's coming to 3 years old and could barely cope with alphabets. 1. When is the ideal time we can teach our baby sign language? 2. Is there a specific time frame how long each session should last? 3. How do we go about teaching it? I have a guide book and flash cards.

Babies can learn simple signs as young as 6 months but its safe to say that baby may not have the hand control to be able to sign back to you until she's older, about 8 or 9 months old maybe. As for duration of lessons, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect so whenever you can, you should practice with your child. It's just like any other language, the more you practise, the more fluent you get :)
