 Easy as waving "bye bye" July 21, 2008
I have learned sign language and I don't understand the reviews that say this isn't pure enough sign language. The signs that they give in the guide are almost entirely pure sign language signs and they point out the instances where the signs they are giving aren't true ASL. I think a lot of the beauty of this program is that you DON'T have to be fluent in ASL to be able to use it. The program they are suggesting is very simple and very effective. Who wouldn't want to be able to communicate better with their baby?
Baby Signs makes sense June 30, 2008
We are going to try using baby sign language with our daughter when she's old enough. The deciding factor was my one-year-old niece that can wave bye-bye and blow kisses but gets frustrated when she can't express something that she wants or when we don't understand her. She's obviously ready to learn to use signs since she knows 2 already and her parents weren't even trying. The Baby Sign book is an easy read with good suggestions and a glossary in the back- we can't wait to start teaching our little girl!
Great insights June 21, 2008
My daughter is still young but I plan to use baby signs with her thanks to this book. The writers have given excellent stories, research findings, and examples of how baby signs work to establish communication. There are chapters on getting started and more advanced signs and pictures of the most common signs to use as examples. However, what I appreciate the most is that your child will establish their own signs ... it doesn't have to be perfect sign language as long as you both understand each other. I've also bought Baby Hearts and Baby Minds and love those 2 books as well.
Good beginning book June 7, 2008
I have some beginner signing knowledge and needed to brush up my skills for my baby. This covers a small amount of signs and is a good place to start. Bargin priced at $5, it's a good affordable start for someone who is interested in beginning sign language with their baby.
Basic overview of baby signing April 18, 2008
This is a pretty good book. I was hoping for a little less discussion of why baby signing was "ok" and a little more in the way of examples and pictures, but overall this has been a helpful book.
