ABOUT THE BOOK

EDITORIAL REVIEW

The bestselling parenting guide featured on "Oprah" and "Dateline" is revised and updated with new signs

For every parent or caregiver who has struggled unsuccessfully to decode baby grunts and grabs, resulting in tearful frustration for both adult and child, there is Baby Signs. Based on 20 years of research, this one-of-a-kind classic shows you how to encourage your baby's use of nonverbal gestures to enhance communication. Simple hand movements signify objects, events, and needs, so your infant can enjoy interactions with you that otherwise would have been impossible until they could talk. New features of this revised edition include helpful tips on incorporating Baby Signs into the day care setting and more than 50 additional illustrated Baby Signs.

USER REVIEWS

"After reading a lot of good reviews on this book, I decided to buy. Unfortunately, after getting it and reading it, I realized that it's not as good as I thought. Doesn't provide much photos or pictures. The content is alright just too little visuals. Disappointed with the purchase."

"I have learned sign language and I don't understand the reviews that say this isn't pure enough sign language. The signs that they give in the guide are almost entirely pure sign language signs and they point out the instances where the signs they are giving aren't true ASL. I think a lot of the beauty of this program is that you DON'T have to be fluent in ASL to be able to use it. The program they are suggesting is very simple and very effective. Who wouldn't want to be able to communicate better with their baby?"

"We are going to try using baby sign language with our daughter when she's old enough. The deciding factor was my one-year-old niece that can wave bye-bye and blow kisses but gets frustrated when she can't express something that she wants or when we don't understand her. She's obviously ready to learn to use signs since she knows 2 already and her parents weren't even trying. The Baby Sign book is an easy read with good suggestions and a glossary in the back- we can't wait to start teaching our little girl!"

"My daughter is still young but I plan to use baby signs with her thanks to this book. The writers have given excellent stories, research findings, and examples of how baby signs work to establish communication. There are chapters on getting started and more advanced signs and pictures of the most common signs to use as examples. However, what I appreciate the most is that your child will establish their own signs ... it doesn't have to be perfect sign language as long as you both understand each other. I've also bought Baby Hearts and Baby Minds and love those 2 books as well."

"I have some beginner signing knowledge and needed to brush up my skills for my baby. This covers a small amount of signs and is a good place to start. Bargin priced at $5, it's a good affordable start for someone who is interested in beginning sign language with their baby."
