Description
Parents that have tried signing with their babies agree: it leads to less frustration, early language development, and parent-child bonding. At Sign 'n Grow, sign language instructor Mary Smith has found an eager audience looking for more than just signs. Parents need strategies and tips for teaching (and learning to recognise!) signs. They have questions that go far beyond how to say a certain word. And they want fun ways to integrate signs into their lives.
In this book, Mary shares all the techniques she teaches through small-group Sign 'n Grow workshops now in print. At the core of the book are 100+ photographed, easy-to-understand signs. But what sets this book apart is Mary's experience both teaching how to use the signs properly and working as a family to get babies and parents comfortable using signs.
With multiple ways to model signs, games and songs to help make learning fun, and so much info on what to watch for when babies are starting to sign, this is the ultimate guide for new parents.
Baby Sign Language provides parents with the tools they need to effectively communicate with their babies and foster a stronger connection from the start.
