Designed for
viewing during baby's non-verbal, chatty phase
(10 to 24 months), this colorful collection of
clips (animals, toys and real kids at play) is
the perfect toddler two-fer: an intro to
American Sign Language for hands-on viewers, and
a fun visual roundup for those who just want to
look and point. Program includes signs for 20
words, from "dog" to "shoes" to the
all-important "more!" A terrific product.

Decades of
mental health research have shown extraordinary
negative impact--that lasts a lifetime--when
attachment and bonding between mother and baby
is inconsistent or incomplete. Moreover, there
is tremendous data that speech and language
difficulties in childhood contribute to poor
self-esteem, poor social skills, and poor
adaptation to the environment. My Baby Can Talk
videos from Baby Hands Productions, especially
when the mother follows the tutorial
recommendations, can improve attachment between
mother and baby (and improve communication skill
readiness and motivation). There is thus good
reason to believe that use of these videos with
your baby can have profound and lasting positive
effects for your child.

Spending time
attending to "My Baby Can Talk – First Signs" is
a great way to improve skills in reading your
child's non-verbal communication. Everyone
benefits when early communications become
clearer and understood by all.
Coleen Gsell,

This is a
great DVD -- fun, colorful, and simple. I know
that kids will want to see it repeatedly. How
wonderful to give our little ones the
opportunity to communicate at such an early age.
It is beneficial on so many levels. First of
all, it reduces frustration, allowing our
infants and toddlers to tell us what they want,
need, and feel. It also enhances their
intelligence just like it does when we teach
them a second language. It's a lot of fun, too!
I give high marks to this DVD because it
actually shows a little child signing each word.
This is important because children sign
imperfectly and it is helpful for parents to see
exactly what they can expect (which I thought
was pretty amazing and wonderful). If I were
raising a baby/toddler again, without a doubt, I
would include signing in our daily lives. |
