Anyone else going to teach baby sign language? I have a few friends who swear by it! Their kids are all a bit older and they don't remember what books they used. I'm curious if anyone has done this, and if they have a book they recommend? There are so many to choose from!
I have been doing sign language for about 3 months and DD just signed back to me for the first time today! She did the sign for more. I am really excited because I hate the sound of her frustrated cry. I am hoping that by being able to communicate through sign language, there will be less frustration.
I checked out a couple different books from the library, but wasn't thrilled with any of them. I memorized the signs for milk, more, eat, and water and I have been doing those. I think I will start to add a few more in.
No help with books but dd just signed to me 'all gone' today for the first time too. I was also v excited! I took one class with her months ago & I just throw in a few signs I learnt at it every now & again so I was quite surprised to see her do it back. Going to do more classes & watch sign time on pbx more often too. Also there's a thing in fb called Tiny sign. I signed up for a free class with them but never ended up taking it. Not sure if it's free all the time or not tho. GL
We've been using signs with M for a while and he's starting to sign himself. No books here. I got a couple free apps on my phone and we've focused one basics per internet suggestions - milk, eat, more, all done, mom, and dad. We've also enjoyed some of the Signing Time (PBS/Netflix) episodes since there's a lot of singing, but the signs are too advanced for him right now.
