Product Description
Book Description
This book teaches hearing parents how to use simple sign language gestures to communicate with their hearing infants before their infants can speak. Joseph Garcia uses anecdotes, practical guidelines and humor to explain the benefits and method for taking advantage of this unique form of early communication. He will help you recognize when your child is receptive to learning. He recommends which signs to teach first and shares ideas for games that can be fun and useful when introducing new signs. The book is also a useful reference with 145 clearly illustrated signs, enabling you to choose and teach the signs that will be most beneficial to you and your child. This book is also included in a separate "package" edition called the SIGN with your BABY Complete Learning Kit - which is comprised of the book, 60 minute training video and quick reference guide.

Great reference and starter book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sign with Your Baby: How to Communicate with Infants Before They Can Speak (Paperback)
I picked up this book, wanting to know the basics to teach my son. I found that this book was very good and had all the more common signs that you would need. It is not heavy reading and is small enough to carry around in your diaper bag.

Excellent resource,

This review is from: Sign With Your Baby: How to Communicate With Infants Before They Can Speak (Paperback)
I began teaching my son to sign at age 7 months. He learned very quickly and was communicating extensively in a couple of months. (For example, around 9 months old, he awoke in the middle of the night, which was unusual for him, and signed that he wanted to eat rice cereal and apples.) Signing lowered his frustration levels significantly. Plus it is so much fun for the whole family to communicate with him. His speech also developed very quickly, and at 19 months he is using sentences. I highly recommend this book. It is written in an easy to read and understand format.

This review is from: Sign with Your Baby: How to Communicate with Infants Before They Can Speak (Paperback)
Before my son was born I began to look at different baby sign books. I picked up two books, Sign with your Baby and another. I found Sign with your Baby very easy to use. I returned the other baby sign book and bought a second copy of Mr. Garcia's book (and the video) for my mother/Tyler's caregiver. Joseph Garcia gives excellent reasoning backed up with research for you should sign with your baby, and when you should start, what signs are best to begin with, when and how to introduce new signs, and so much more without inundating you with too much information. I buy this book for everyone I know who has a baby.
