Abstract

Child gestures are non-verbal messages that use the body parts such as eyes, mouth, hands that communicate various meanings. Non-verbal communication becomes an integral part of children’s language skills. This paper aims to describe various forms of gesture in early childhood as a form of non-verbal communication and the meaning behind gestures that appear as a form of expression which speaks their language. It is expected to bring up a new understanding of meaning in non-verbal communication in the form of child gestures as an important expression to appreciate children.
