Baby Signing For Dummies (ePub)

Have you thought about signing with your baby or toddler? Parents
and caregivers are discovering the benefits of using American Sign
Language (ASL) to communicate with children long before they can
speak. Some studies show that signing babies talk sooner, have
larger vocabularies, and have fewer tantrums!

Baby Signing For Dummies gives you the skills to connect
in a meaningful way with your hearing baby or toddler. Packed with
more than 150 illustrated signs, this friendly, easy-to-follow
guide shows you how to use simple hand gestures and baby-specific
signing techniques to start interacting with your baby. Every sign
is accompanied by step-by-step directions and an
illustration--from meeting and greeting, people, and mealtime
signs to clothes, animals, outdoor signs, and, of course, bath time
and bedtime. You'll discover how to:

* Introduce signs to your baby

* Incorporate signing into daily life

* Make everyday events easier with signs

* Overcome stumbling blocks

* Decrease fussing and crying through signing

* Help your baby sign combinations of words

* Keep your baby safe with signing

dos and don'ts, and ten songs to sign along with, Baby

your child and increasing his/her intelligence in a simple, fun,
