LEARN TO SIGN TODAY! In this book you and your child will learn basic signs. On every page there are large pictures with the word, the gesture, and how to sign the gesture. It is very easy to follow and will be fun for you and your little one. Sign language is not only for the deaf. It can also be very helpful for the hearing too! Why use sign language with your child? It is simple. Babies gain control of their hands long before they develop oral skills to speak. Signing allows little ones the chance to express what they want without having to cry or throw tantrums. Signing helps babies talk sooner, helps adults know what their child wants, reduces frustration, stimulates intellectual development, and brings a closer bond to you and your child.
