Sign Language for Babies 6-Week Series

Do you want to know what your baby or toddler is thinking? Do you want to cut down on crying & frustration?

Sign language is a great way to help you communicate with your pre-verbal baby. It helps babies that are ready to communicate, but can't quite bridge the gap to full speech. Imagine how your life would change for the better if your baby could just tell you what he or she is thinking! :-)

Signing with babies has numerous cognitive & linguistic benefits, but most importantly it's fun and helps you bond with your child. Babies that sign are often less fussy because they're able to communicate what they want in ways other than crying. Research also shows that babies that utilize sign language get a great start in life -- with increased vocabularies and more advanced cognitive skills, even years after they have stopped signing.
