Sign with Your Baby Complete Learning Kit

This kit enables you to communicate with your baby before they can speak. Included in the kit is a book, video, and reference guide which shows how simple gestures can communicate ideas like "I'm hungry" or "help me." Dr. Joseph Garcia has designed the system so it's not necessary to learn an entire new language, although it also provides a terrific start in American Sign Language for a hearing-impaired child. There are over 150 signs for all kinds of actions and nouns. The video provides practical tips for getting started, some insight into the how and why this method works and inspiring sights of young babies signing effectively with their caregivers. The laminated quick-reference guide lists some of the most common words in any parent's day: cookie, no, and up are but a few.
