Professional 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.

   Summary: Great research, no need to make up signs
This is a great tool for learning how and why to sign with your baby. I don't agree with making up signs though. We already have signs established in our Deaf Culture. Why not use theirs and allow it to be used later in life as well? I would recommend buying this book for the information but I bought a sign language dictionary with it, Teach Your Tot to Sign from Stacy Thompson and it has every sign that I have needed in it. It helped me so much to bring it along with me in my car and if I don't know a sign, I quickly just looked it up and my daughter learned the "real" sign for tree. Good luck and signing is a wonderful experience in our family, I hope it is in yours too.

   Summary: I can't wait to talk with my baby.
I'm still reading this but I am almost finished. It provides really good information about how and why to use baby signs. I also really like that their information is based on actual research that they have completed. I didn't realize all the benefits that can come from using baby signs. I look forward to being able to talk with my daughter soon.

   Summary: This REALLY WORKS!!!
I waited till my daughter was 9mths old. I started with "All Done". Right before I let her out of the high chair, I'd say All Done & wave my arm. She didn't catch on for a few weeks but I kept at it. Then one day, I was pressuring her to eat (as all moms do at some point) and she began waving her arm! As soon as she waved her arm, I took her out. She got really excited and began waving her arm when she was done playing, or swinging or diaper changing. When possible, we would stop what we were doing to respect her wishes and reinforce the sign! That was at 10 months and just the beginning. By the time she was 13 months old, she could sign 22 different words. We used a lot of the book's signs and were making up signs for animals, vehicles, objects, actions and she picked up a sign a day. We'd say the specific word along with doing the sign like this book suggests and she picked up both. She was doing over 50 signs by the time she turned 15months old. Now she's only signing words that she can't speak. She's talking so much at 16months. Everyone told us that she wouldn't talk if she signed because she'd have no incentive but we trusted the book and persisted with signing and I have to say that really paid off! We had no issues with anger or frustration since she was consistently able to tell us what she wanted. Signing also helped in distracting her when she didn't get what she wanted and kept her entertained on long car rides. :) This book really helps to do it right.

   Summary: Should have purchased sooner
I bought this book when my son turned one. He was getting really frustrated that he couldn't communicate with me. Right away I taught him how to sign for eat and drink. I wish I would have started with him earlier. His language skills picked up really fast after his first birthday and he was able to learn the words quicker than the sign. I found the book a good, quick read and the signs easy to learn. I would start with my next baby at around 9 months.

   Summary: Who Teaches asdflaksdf as a language
I received this book and initially was excited but then realized the signs were made up. I don't want to start teaching my child the world is flat. Sign language will be helpful to know in years to come but where's the expanded dictionary of made up signs and symbols?
