About the Author

Monta Briant, and her husband, Paul, began signing with their daughter, Sirena, when she was six months old. The family eventually learned hundreds of signs together. In 2001, Monta, a former professional yacht captain, decided to make a permanent career change that would enable her to stay home with her daughter, so she founded Baby Sign Language Workshops. An enthusiastic speaker and self-proclaimed “baby sign language evangelist,” Monta teaches baby sign language workshops and parent-tot signing classes throughout San Diego County. Baby Sign Language Workshops classes have been the subject of feature stories in the San Diego Union-Tribune and on Fox 6 News.

More About the Author

Monta Zelinsky Briant, a 7th generation native of San Francisco, moved to San Diego in 1998 with husband Paul Briant (of Cape Town, South Africa) in order to find more affordable housing, more sunshine, and start a family.

In 2000, Monta and Paul welcomed their first child, Sirena, into the world, and soon began signing with her. Signing with Sirena was such and amazing experience for Zelinsky-Briant family, that Monta felt compelled to share signing with other families, and began teaching classes in 2001. The classes eventually caught the attention of Hay House Publishing, and Monta's first book, Baby Sign Language Basics: Early Communication for Hearing Babies and Toddlers (Hay House 2004), quickly became the best-selling book on the topic, being published in a half dozen foreign language editions as well. In 2004, when the family welcomed a little brother, Aiden, to the family, big sister Sirena was a big help teaching her new brother signs!

Both children have outgrown signing as a primary means of communication, but they still remember most of their signs, and continue to find them useful in a variety of situations. Nowadays, Monta get's her baby-signing-fix with the little signers in her classes. "It always seems like a miracle every time a tiny baby does a new sign in class-- even though I've seen it thousands of times now, I get just as excited as the parents do!" says Monta. "I always walk out of every class I teach absolutely walking on air-- it's the most fulfilling job in the world".

Este libro presenta mucha más información que fue presentado en el libro original de las señas escrito por las doctoras Linda Acredolo y Susan Goodwyn, "Gestos del Bebé", y el Programa de Baby Signs(R)cual son 80% de las mismas señas de ASL y solamente 20% de señas adaptadas para que seán mas facíles para las manitas del bebé. Este libro es perfecto para toda la familia y especialmente para madres en espera. No es necesario haber tenido experiencia con el aprendizaje de las señas antes de empezar con un programa de señas para los bebés. ¡El uso de señas es facíl y divertida! Los beneficios para los bebés y sus familias son fantasticos. La magia de la señas, como utilizando la lectura y la música en la vida cotidiana de los infantes, en realidad sea un regalo perfecto para cada bebé

This review is from: Lenguaje Por Senas Para Bebes: (Baby Sign Language Basics) (Paperback)

This book is tiny, in comparison to it's English counterpoint. Still very good information. I am a nurse and I use this book to loan to parents that I work with. It's so small it's almost difficult to read.

Esta libro es muy pequeno, la edition en inglese es mucho mas grande con mas information. Todavia esta libretto tiene information buena y importante. Soy una enfermera y lo di a mis clientes. Es tan pequeno que es casi dificil leer lo.

El libro cumple con lo que promete: te da una introducción a la técnica del lenguaje de señas para bebés, pero sólo incluye algunas señas y te sugiere que compres un diccionario de señas para mayor información; tiene tips y técnicas para enseñarle las señas a los bebés y hasta algunas canciones populares en español, en general es bueno.
