Customer Reviews
I tried to do sign language with my older child, but didn't know how to catch her interest. This book is amazing! We are using it with our second child, and at 13 months old she has used over 45 signs to communicate with us. When she falls down she is able to say "I bumped my head" and "It hurts" with two signs! Not only does this book teach a few dozen signs in their dictionary, it tells you multiple daily-activity games to incorporate signs, and helps you learn to recognize when your baby is signing back. There are excellent tips, like to balance signs you want your baby to know (like eat, more, and hurt), with signs your baby wants to know (like duck, light, fan, bear, and book). That's the likely reason my older child wasn't interested in signing: because I only used signs that interested me as her parent, and overlooked the things she was interested in talking about. We all want to understand our babies, and this book helps a lot with that!
