Baby, What's Your Sign? ~ Communicating
with Your Baby through Sign Language
Did you know that babies start to understand language long before
they can even utter their first words? Did you also know that babies
who used sign language scored higher on intelligent tests later
in life? Learn how using sign language can help you communicate
with your baby as early as 6 months. Discover how signing can help
reduce temper tantrums and frustration for both baby and caretaker
while at the same time forming a stronger relationship between you
and your baby. In this 2-hour workshop, learn why signing with your
baby is effective, when to start using signs, how to get started,
and what the benefits will be both immediately and long-term.
