Book Description

Series: Everything (Parenting) | Publication Date: March 1, 2008

Signing babies are taking over, asking for more milk and later nap times. Sure, they might not get their way, but signing gives them a way to express themselves. Frustrated communication is often the root cause of crying and tantrums in babies and toddlers. Usually it is caused by the lag between a child's desire to be understood and their ability to form words. Sign language bridges this gap."The Everything Baby Sign Language Book with DVD" teaches parent and children to use a combination of sign language and homemade gestures to communicate needs, wants and feelings. Using this book and instructional DVD, baby and parent will be well on their way to using their hands to speak!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Helpful Book, April 17, 2008

This review is from: Everything Baby Sign Language Book: Get an early start communicating with your baby! (Everything (Parenting)) (Paperback)

I was ready to teach sign language to my daughter but I didn't know where to begin so I bought three different books including this one. All of the books taught me some things but I think this book was the easiest to use. It has a lot of signs and tells you when to introduce them to your baby and it has photos of the signs plus a DVD to show you how each one is done. That was really helpful. The only sign my daughter has done yet is milk but I know she'll be doing more soon.

This is a good introduction to signing with your baby. Along with giving you signs to use it also has a lot of background information about sign and the pros and cons of using sign with your baby. I

The book is in great shape and the CD was sealed in packaging. However, after trying to play it on two DVD players, the disk doesn't work. First the menu would not appear and then when it did the segments were garbled, rendering it useless. We bought this book because it came with a DVD.
