Search - Baby Signs

While the information about sharing signs with your child seems useful, I was very disappointed to see that this book does not use American Sign Language. Instead, it encourages parents to develop signs with their child. Personally, I think that it's important to use ASL, and given that many signs are fairly intuitive, I think that developing your own set of signs sort of defeats the purpose of teaching sign language to your children. How will my children communicate with people outside of the immediate family? With ASL, there is a possibility that they could, with self-developed signs there is no chance.

This is an excellent book for anyone who is thinking about using baby signs or is currently using baby signs. There is a section in the back that gives suggestions for words to sign and how to sign them.

I think this book is very helpful. Babies are often frustrated wanting to communicate before they are verbal. Kids understand language well before they can talk. This book is a great resourse.

its alright. it give you ideas how to use hands to identify a behavior or object. im sure they have info like this online. its good to swap this book around in paperbackswap
