Stop guessing what your baby is trying to
tell you and start spending more time fulfilling your child's
specific needs. Baby Sign Language gives parents the opportunity to
communicate with children long before babies can verbalize their
wants and needs. Research studies show that signing with babies
accelerates language acquisition, reduces frustration and
aggressive behavior, and as children mature, results in a greater
interest in reading. Out of all the wonderful benefits of baby sign
language, the most important benefit of all is that signing will
greatly deepen the bond between you and your child.
What you will learnHappy Baby Signs' Introductory
Workshop introduces basic baby signs that are based on American
Sign Language (ASL) and is designed for expectant parents and
parents with hearing babies who range in age from birth to 18
months old. The workshop is an hour and a half long during which
information on the latest research on the benefits of signing with
babies will be discussed. Parents are taught useful tips on how to
train their babies to sign. Fun activities and songs will show you
how easy it can be to integrate these signs into your every day
routine and jump-start your child's verbal skills. This is a great
way to see what infant signing is all about without a major
commitment. Please join us with or without your baby!
