6 month old asks for milk!, Dec 9 2000
By "ccmstudent" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sign with Your Baby: How to Communicate with Infants Before They Can Speak (VHS Tape)
I saw Joseph Garcia talking about his research in a television news magazine (20/20 or 60 minutes) while I was pregnant and went online and bought the book, video and flashcard. At, 4 months, I started signing "milk" to my baby whenever we nursed and my husband did the same with a bottle. We didn't expect a response, but it takes no extra time, so we just started it. Now, at 9 months, she uses the milk sign when she's hungry, and can do her own simpler version of "change" when her diaper is wet. When we respond correctly to her signs, she beams, claps her hands and giggles. It's wonderful. The video is simple and a great reference for teaching the signs, this is particularly helpful with some of the signs which cannot be clearly described in a book, and you need to see it in motion, 3-dimensionally.

Long on testimony, short on instruction, July 12 2001
By kbluck - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sign with Your Baby: How to Communicate with Infants Before They Can Speak (VHS Tape)
Although well produced, and I certainly am a believer in the underlying science, the video struck me as something of an infomercial. Not much in the way of actual demonstration of technique. The great bulk seemed to be parents gushing about how wonderful their relationship with their little tykes had become since they started signing. Well and good, but I expected more actual instruction and demonstration. For example, I don't remember a single example of the gazes. We got Garcia talking to a group about them, but they didn't *show any useful examples*. This is a video. The whole advantage of video is visual content. There should have been more showing and less telling. Leave the telling to the accompanying book.
The section on sign demonstrations at the end is nice, but time-consuming to get to and around on most VCRs.

A fun way to communicate and learn a new language, Oct 15 1999
By Carolyn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sign with Your Baby: How to Communicate with Infants Before They Can Speak (VHS Tape)
This video and the book that goes with it is an easy and excellent resource. The video helps caregivers learn how to "talk" to your baby and gives helpful hints and tips to help you and your infant to learn how to interact. It helps in showing you as caregiver that an infant or toddler develops his or her signs as part of a process and to be "watchful" for your child's way of making signs. It helps me as a parent understand and be more aware of my son's needs. We have been signing consistently for a couple of months and our son started making requests for milk, has his own sign for up, and understands "more" as well as "mommy" and "daddy" and "doggy". All of this and he just turned seven months. I am convinced that this will help us understand our child and allow him to communicate with us more clearly even as he learns the spoken word. And just think caregivers and child alike will have gained a new language that is universal!
