Baby Talk: A Guide to Using Basic Sign Language to Communicate with Your Baby
by Monica BeyerJump-start language and learning skills with this simple and elegant guide to using sign language to communicate with your preverbal baby. Imagine averting a tantrum because your baby was able to communicate her desire for a favorite toy without tears, or simply sharing in your baby's wonderment at the sight of a bird on a tree-before he has even uttered his first word! Generally, children do not develop the motor skills necessary to speak until they are two, and yet they are able to communicate using sign language as early as six months. Written by an experienced signer and a mother of three, this illustrated step-by-step guide will allow readers to join the ranks of parents around the world who experience the rich rewards of communicating with their preverbal babies by using sign language. Studies have shown that babies who are taught to use signs to express themselves before they can actually speak are more contented because they can communicate their basic needs (and ideas!) and also are more skilled at speaking once they begin to acquire language. Full of practical tips, real anecdotes, and straightforward diagrams of more than sixty basic American Sign Language signs, Baby Talk is the essential baby-signing handbook for parents, relatives, and caregivers-and their babies, who are just a little too young to express themselves verbally. .

She gets along with her active little brother, but the closer the baby comes to being born, the more she has to baby-sit. She isn't getting enough time with her friends or time to herself. It's always about the baby and Allison feels she's almost become invisible. There are other changes, too. She is going to have to give up the room she grew up in, the one with the wonderful window seat, for the baby. A new room is being built for her, but when will it be finished and what will it look like? It's a good thing she has her friends who are full of new ideas for parties, sleep-overs and for facing her problems. They help Allison get through the changes until she learns that her parents understand her better than she thought and that they have some surprises of their own in store for her.
