What are the benefits of teaching your baby basic sign language?

Not only is it surprisingly easy, signing with your baby can increase connection and bonding as you better understand baby's behavior and can relieve frustration by helping them to communicate their wants. You'll find easy-to-follow illustrations and instructions for signs like milk and diaper. You'll also learn familiar and practical songs to sign and sing with your child. Also included are the alphabet and numbers (1-10) in ASL conveniently located at the front and back of the book for quick reference.

Unlike other books in the genre, this beautifully designed educational book stands out with loads of full-color photographs to make it easy to look up the signs you want to share.
