Sign Language for Babies Cards : 50 Easy Words to Learn

by Calif.) Parenting (San Francisco (Editor)

There isn’t a mom on the planet who hasn’t expressed frustration at not knowing why her baby is crying. "If only she could tell me what’s bothering her!" is a sentiment frequently expressed by moms about their wailing babies. Imagine how great it would be if babies could say why they’re crying—or that they want more juice, have a tummy ache, or need a hug. Teaching babies sign language deepens the parent-child relationship and, studies show, makes it easier for babies to learn to speak and read. This card deck, the first of its kind developed to teach sign language to hearing babies, contains flash cards with the 50 most important words you can teach your mommy, daddy, enough, more, juice, hurt, happy, love, and so on. The deck also contains a 16-page booklet with helpful tips.
