EUR 8,06
The Single Best Thing we ve done for our son - This book transformed the parenting experience for me. We began teaching our 9 month old a few basic signs and as he picked them up we d teach him a few more. At 15 months he is signing away and teaching US new signs every day. Its incredible. This book is a great tool and leaping-off place for what is actually a very simple concept. You don t need to teach your baby ASL, the sign language used by the hearing impaired, its way too complicated and requires hand gestures babies can t yet make. All you need to do is use the signs in this book, and if you don t find them there, make up your own! You and your baby will quickly have a working language! YOUR BABY CAN T WAIT TO TALK TO YOU! AND THEY HAVE A LOT TO SAY! It was without doubt the single best thing we ve done for our child. P. Spence
Highly recommended - A friend sent me this book when I was pregnant. I started using signs (some from the book and some made up) when my daughter seemed to be interested. By 8 months of age she made her first sign--motioning above her head at the ceiling fans at my mom s house (my daughter has one in her bedroom). I also supplemented the Baby Signs signs with some from a pocket ASL book. By 15 months, she could communicate just about any need. My husband and I were amazed at how little fussing and uh-uh-uh-ing she did as she was able to tell us what she wanted. For the already interested parent, I found the anecdotal stuff in the book a little boring. For the not so sure parent, it s probably right on. I have recommended this book to friends, coworkers, etc. and will continue to do so.
Baby Signs - Before purchasing Baby Signs, I read the Amazon reviews since I had not had the chance to physically browse the book. After reading some reviews, I questioned my decision to purchase this book. Specifically, the reviews that suggested an ASL book would be more effective, caused me doubt. Well after receiving and reading Baby Signs, I can say that I am glad I did. Some of the reviews (in my opinion) were completely unfounded. Baby Signs was written for parents of hearing babies who want to improve communication with their children who can not yet speak. Approximately 53 signs are suggested in the book, along with a chapter of rhymes to accompany signs. The book also explains how parents can make up their own sign(s) to better suit their individual baby. Some readers reviews suggested that a book on ASL signs would be more appropriate, but I think that is missing the point. A hearing impaired child requirements for signing is much different than a non hearing impaired child. Baby signs for hearing children should serve as an adjuct to their ability to communicate until they are able to speak, whereas for hearing impaired children, signing will most likely be a major method of communication for a lifetime. This book is easy to read, positive, and encourages parents to go beyond teaching your child to wave bye-bye. As for the comments on too many pictures, how can pictures of cute babies signing be a source of complaints? Some people will complain about anything!
Baby Signs - The Best Expercise Learning Signs for babies. - I am deaf and I agree with all customer reviews. My parents was learned sign language when i was one or two years old. I was never talked since one or two years old and it was hard for my parents to communicated with me until I saw the bird flies and I ran to my mom to pull her arm with me to outside, Finally I was sign language with voice (Bird), (Bird) and My mom was cried and she thoughts that I cannot talk or not do anything nothing but I learned from special school program. They were glad and make right decesion for me to go to special school. They were taken me to special school at Jacksonville School for the Deaf for a while until I learned alot then transfer to mainstream school. I thanked my parents and my teachers. It is really help babies and toddler to learn by parents teachs sign language until break out. Keep up and you guys will be fine. Believe me! I thought I can help and best to advise all of you!
Better Communication with your baby - I really appreciated this book! We started using Baby Signs with our son before he was 18 months old. He was able to use signs to communicate his desires, instead of merely pointing and saying ah, ah, ah, or screaming. He even surprised us with a few signs, like using our original sign for duck to mean fan -- the fan blade looked like a duck s head and bill to him! Even now at 3 1/2, he still remembers some of the signs, and frequently uses his sign for more -- especially if his mouth is full!
