 A bit repetitive February 16, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The book and the DVD give you the same information. The DVD's a little outdated and looks like it was made in the 80's. But the information is good. But I do think you can get the same information from less expensive DVDs or books...
loved it February 10, 2007

im not sure if my admiration for this kit stems from the fact that i love the idea of signing with baby or because this kit is that good.
either way, the dvd is more than enough if you can get it on its own.
I dont advise to buy the book alone since seeing the instructor acutally making the signs is best, also most of the ideas in the book are repeated on the dvd.
either way, its a really helpful kit.. teaching baby to sign is fun and extremely rewarding to both of you.
 It works great! January 29, 2007

This combo was really useful! Make sure you get a DVD or VHS tape. Watching babies doing signs is what you need to understand how the signs work. After that, you can pretty much do without the book.
We started teaching my daughter signs when she was 7 months old. By her first birthday, she could sign "cookie" very clearly. Then she started adding more signs to her vocabulary. She uses signs to say "cookie", "more", "water/eat" (she uses the same sign for both), "bye", "hi", "book", "bunny", "no", "over /no more", "shoe" and some other words. She does not always use the standard signs, she modifies them or makes up her own.
I have wonderful anecdotes on my communication with her. I'll share three with you:
* When she started crawling, she was going for a door wedge. She sat, looked at us, made the "no" sign a couple of times, and then went ahead and picked up the wedge. To us, the message was clear: "I know I am not supposed to touch it, but I'm going to, anyway". It was priceless.
* I was turning around with her in my arms. Her mom said "Stop, you are scaring her". So I stopped, and my daughter immediately made the "more" sign. She was clearly enjoying the ride.
* I was reading to her in bed. I made the "over/no more" sign, and she replied "more" followed by "book". I had to keep reading.
Now, she is one year and seven months old, and she communicates very clearly. She is saying some words out loud now, but still uses the signs when she feels like it. If we can't see her, she will speak, or she will combine signs and sounds to get what she wants.

We didn't go all out on forcing our two kids to learn sign language, but we get them to learn a large number of simple words that made every day living a lot easier. Fewer tantrums when they can let you know what they are thinking. Never too early to start, but don't expect results till 1 yr. Video and quick reference card were used more than the book. Also, talk about impressing the grandparents...
Excellent book January 9, 2007

Excellent book with dvd and quick guide. It really works and it improved the communication skills and language facilitation for infant and mommy. It doesn't take long to learn and I would recommend it for sure.
