Baby Signs for Mealtime (Baby Signs)

by Linda Acredolo

Baby Signs for Mealtime (Baby Signs) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Babies want to express their needs, especially at mealtime. Through baby signing, they can communicate when they want more, when something is too hot, or even to let everyone know it's 'all gone!'

Baby signing is easy and natural. Infants and toddlers can learn how to say what they need, what they see, and even what they feel long before their vocal chords are developed enough to let them use actual words. Both books include the most popular signs and provide parents a place to begin 'talking' with their little one from the start. In this revolutionary breakthrough in parent child communication, parents have a priceless window into their young child's mind and heart.

Synopsis:

It's as easy as waving bye-bye!

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 Baby Signs decrease frustration and tantrums and help your baby talk sooner.

When to begin: When your child starts to wave bye-bye.

How to do it: Show your baby the sign and point to the picture. Always say the word as you make the sign.

Improvise: Make up your own signs — your baby probably will too!

Synopsis:

Babies want to express their needs, especially at mealtime. Through baby signing, they can communicate when they want more, when something is too hot, or even to let everyone know it's "all gone." (Baby/Preschool)
