Sign with your Baby

Our 17-month old great-grandson spends 3 days a week in Day Care where signing is taught to all the wee ones from about the age of 9-months I believe... its fantastic, as they can quickly learn to express their wants and needs through the hand signs, long before theyre capable of forming words, so they can communicate without being frustrated, at least at Day Care... At home, once we all began to notice the repetition of certain hand movements on his part, and confirmed through his teachers what it represented, WE all needed to learn what HE knew, then we were all able to share concepts and respond.... What a wonderful bridge of understanding the practice creates, and this DVD made learning it possible and exciting. This should be used universally.

Good reference for some essential sign language for baby.

I like the fact that is it ASL and not some made up stuff. Garcia is a very knowledgeable and easy to watch guy. I recommend this for the money and how it is pretty much all you need for a beginner .

Ive begun using this with my one-year old (wish I found it sooner!) and its really helping a lot. It gives great examples and tips on how to use sign language with your baby. It also has a section with a bunch of different signs. I wish that the sample signs would repeat 2-3 times each though. I think that repetitiveness would help with learning for both baby and I. The video is a little dated, but the info is solid! Thanks!

I really enjoyed this DVD. It taught me a lot of signs so I can teach my child. The whole family enjoys it!

Wow, really thrilled with this DVD! It is not to show to your child, but rather to teach you as a parent or caretaker how to most effectively go about teaching and communicating via sign language with your hearing (or hearing impaired) baby of age 6 months or above. Bought it used on Amazon for about $1.50 plus shipping, so a real steal. Its so well presented, so educational, you wouldnt really even need to buy a book before applying your knowledge. Several seasoned experts as well as signing parents give tips and demonstrate their points with anecdotes or footage of their own babies. [I did buy another signing video before this one, but its really not suitable and way overstimulating for baby. Maybe better for little ones age 1-3.] My baby is four months old now, but her dad, grandma, and I are getting started learning the signs so we can communicate with her at the earliest! Its clear shes eager to have more communication options in her repertoire! :) Best wishes to all in their efforts to communicate with their babies and children.

Wonderful tool to begin your journey with! I learned that we cant start signing with him just to stop - the signing always makes a difference for your baby, even when he decides not to sign back. My son became more frustrated and uncomfortable without signs once he was introduced to them...kinda keeps me on my ps and qs now.

The book arrived in good time and packaged great as well. Havent read the book yet, but I would buy from this seller again.

A little cheesy and so stuck in like 1989-1992 ish?!?! But for those that havent had any exposure to sign language, I guess it is okay. Gave to my mom in law to watch.

Purchased as a gift for a hospice family.
