Caregiver Infant Sign Language Classes

Description

Sign Language is a great and fun way to communicate with children long before they reach their verbal stage. Gestural communication is possible months before verbal skills emerge. For example, your child can wave "bye-bye" and shake their head "No!" long before they can say the words. There are many joys and advantages that come with communicating with your baby early in life.

For older children, you can sign in silence across the room or across the yard, no need to raise your voice . . . by signing "Wait a minute." "Please stop that." "Come here please." "Mama's busy now." etc.

Objective Of This Instruction: This class is for those who want to use basic, coversational sign language to express phrases often used in daily living. To name a few: "Baby," "Mama," "Daddy," "Milk," "More milk," "All done!" "Diaper," "Change diaper," "Eat," "Play" "Blanket," "Bath," Pacifier," "Dirty," "Clean," "Hurt," "Hot," "Cold," "Scared," "Puppy" "Kitty," etc.
