Babies have a lot to say, even before they can actually speak. Baby Signs are simple gestures that allow babies and toddlers to communicate what they see, what they need, and even how they feel. Research has shown that using Baby Signs decreases frustration and tantrums and helps your baby talk sooner! Join Kathleen Robertson, who taught her own child Baby Signs at 3 months old, as you learn how you can teach your baby and your family a new way to communicate for increased understanding and improved relationships. Your class fee includes a textbook that will help you take home what you learn in class.
