Absolutely Perfect!

My Baby Can Talk DVDs are absolutely perfect! They do the job of teaching signing and engaging my daughter (Kayla) so well, that I was amazed! I started teaching her signing early on, and she began signing back around 8 months old (milk was her first sign), but I was erratic and inconsistent simply because I didn't have any tools to go by... I just sort of stumbled through and taught her new signs as I came across them. Her dad and I are both active duty military, so we are very busy and sometimes work long and odd hours, so it was difficult to get organized and stay on track.
These videos have been so helpful! My daughter doesn't watch television and I'd tried out several other educational videos, but she hasn't been interested in them for more than a few moments, at most. I'm totally okay with that because I don't feel that tv is the best thing for her. However, when she saw your My Baby Can Talk, First Signs DVD, she was hooked... so was I! It is so well designed! I encourage her to watch the video each day- and I sit with her because it's so much fun to see her learn.
She actually watches the woman on the screen do the sign and then tries it herself, even looking down at her own hands and then back up at the screen, trying to figure it out. Incredible! She shows me the sign and smiles with pride. It's so adorable- I love it! Since beginning to watch your videos, her signing vocabulary has soared- even faster than I can keep up. Plus, she has been a bit on the slower end of the language development curve so far, but it seems that your videos have encouraged her speaking and those skills are improving as well. It could be a coincidence, but even if it is, the videos are still great. As I mentioned, Kayla wouldn't sit to watch anything for very long at all. Now, she asks (often!) for the "baby" video (she signs baby or bird to request it, lol!), and then she will sit through nearly the entire video if I let her!
Quite a wonderful product and one that I HIGHLY recommend to anyone interested in teaching their baby or toddler to sign. We've tried other signing videos, but they don't seem to be on her level like yours do. The others might be good for older kids or preschoolers, but yours are PERFECT for us. So thank you so much for designing them. |
Outstanding DVD's!

Thank you is all I can say, 4-5 years ago, these were the only sign language dvd's for kids, and my then 12 month old daughter loved them and picked the signs up like a sponge. We are a bilingual family so language is a slower/more complicated process for both my children as they learn two languages at the same time initially. But the two dvd's which was out at that time was so amazing - wish I had the third dvd too!!! They could tell me clearly in sign language everything they wanted, WAY before the English and Afrikaans(Dutch dialect) words were clearly spoken. Please buy them (all three) you won't be sorry! ( I can recommend baby signing time too, but would suggest you get my baby can talk for the younger children, under 2 or 3) |
LOVE THIS!

My son has been watching the First Signs and Sharing Signs videos since he was 6 months old. At that age, he was able to tell us when he wanted to eat and have his milk. Now that he is 14 months old, he can sign almost every word in the two videos combined. So much so, that I often find him signing words that I didn't even realize! When we brought home our Christmas tree, he started to wave at it. I thought he was just saying "hi" to the tree. It was a couple of days later that I realized he was signing the word "tree", which is very much like a wave! He signed it all on his own! I LOVE these DVD's and I love that I have a way of communicating with my baby, and that we understand each other. I can't tell you how many temper-tantrums I have been able to avoid by simply saying to my son, "Use your words. What do you want?" He does the sign and our levels of frustration simply disappear! LOVE THESE DVDs!!! Thank you so much!!! |
These are the BEST videos on the market

My daughter started viewing these videos at 3 months old and started signing by 6 months. She is now 13 months and absolutely loves the videos, she actually sits quietly in front of the TV to watch and practice signing at the video plays. How awesome! She uses sign language throughout the day because of these videos! |
The Best
Elizabeth, from Houston, Tx

I absolutely love this DVD! Both of my daughters, ages 4 and 2, have learned these signs. They have not seen the video in over a year, and still know all of them! It is so much fun for them to learn more signs, and it makes them very proud to show them off. I believe it has helped them communicate and learn new words. |
My kids love these signing videos!

We have the first two DVD's and I'm here to order the 3rd! We used the dvd's with my daughter who was a late talker, and she knew all the signs in the videos, plus some! She loved watching them over and over again. She never seemed to get tired of them, like she did with other programming. We are now using them with my 15 month old. He will walk up to the tv and start singing 'more' for me to put the video on for him. Can't wait to get the 3rd video! |
More!

Please make more DVDs! My toddler loves them. She is almost two and knows all the signs but she still likes to watch these shows over and over. We always watch them together. She enjoys them much more than baby einstein, etc. What I appreciate (that baby e. does not have) is that you can watch words as chapters individually. Sometimes we just watch two or three. It shakes up the order and she can also tell me
her viewing preference. We hope you have plans for more volumes soon.

We couldn't believe it...
Brandina, from Newport Beach, CA

My baby started viewing your videos at around 4-5 months old and she started signing by 8 months. We couldn't believe it. We have all 3 of your videos and she knows all the signs. She also started talking early - I think her understanding of sign has just helped her understand communication all around. THANK YOU SO MUCH! while my friends babies are screaming our daughter is talking/signing away. And she loves the videos- she would rather watch your videos than any other learning videos we've tried. |
I love your books!
Jennifer, from San Jose, CA

When my son was 21 months old and still not talking, I decided to try baby sign language. I found lots of books, but too many were geared towards adult fluency in signing. I didn't have the time or interest in learning any more than just a few simple signs that my baby needed. I finally came across your books, and they were just what I was looking for - simple, colorful and engaging!
I used the books to teach myself the most common things my son would ask for; milk, more, juice, ball. I used the signs almost daily, and it took about three weeks for him to learn his first sign, "more." For the next couple months, he picked up about one new sign each week. At two and a half, he's talking just fine now, but he still likes learning new signs.
He loves all three books, and watches all three DVD's over and over. He's also learning spoken words from the DVDs, and sometimes he learned directly from the videos without me even teaching those words to him at all. I recommend all six of your products for any parent.

My daughter loves the videos!
Amy, from San Antonio, TX

As a special education teacher, I feel very strongly that early learning and communication begins the lifelong learning process. My daughter started with the First Signs video and was signing for milk and more by 6 months. The video holds her attention and is pleasant for parents as well. I bought the other 2 DVD's and the board books and my duaghter loves those too! She is now 9 months and is making many more signs (dog, diaper, sleep, daddy, etc). People often comment on how happy our daughter is, and I attribute that to the fact that she is able to communicate her needs, which minimizes frustration. When I took her to the pediatrician, she was very impressed by my daughter's ability to tell me she wanted to eat her cereal by signing eat. I highly recommend these products and will purchase them for all of my pregnant friends as a gift! |
Fantastic DVD!

My daughter LOVES this DVD!!! It's extremely interesting for babies....she's 9.5 months and can sign most of the signs from the video and more! I can't wait to order the rest!!! |
The Best Sign DVDs
Caroline, from Westminster, CO

I have all 3 DVDs and love them. We reviewed other DVDs but My Baby Can Talk ones were the most interesting and fun to watch. I started signs on my own with our baby Luc but your DVDs really helped us accelerate the learning process. Compared to other babies, Luc is never frustrated because he can express himself and the big smile on his face is priceless when he knows he is understood. I cannot wait for other DVDs to come out... Hurry, Luc is growing up! |
Awesome signing DVD for babies!
Christine, from Severn, MD

I bought this for my son who had tantrums since an early age (we later discovered he has Asperger's Syndrome). I thought if he could express himself, it might cut down on the severity. And with the help of the first DVD, it helped us to communicate. At a year, he knew the entire DVD within two weeks' time. (He is a visual child. He didn't speak until after he was two.)
My daughter at 9 months, looked at the TV and looked at her hands and signed 'more'. She was smitten with Blues Clues until we put this DVD series in. There is nothing she enjoys more (where television is concerned) than these DVDs. It's amazing and I look forward to watching her blossom with her language. She is a very talkative child (jibberish, of course), but she's certainly 'getting it' with the signs.
One thing that is a bit humorous is that the woman who signs made my son fearful, whereas my daughter lights up with a big smile when she comes on. Talk about polar opposites!!
Thank you SO much for giving my son and soon, my daughter as well, a way to express themselves. I give your DVDs as baby gifts, I am so 'sold' on these videos! My friends have enjoyed them as well! |
Excellent
Bobbi, from Miami, FL

I purchased your program for my nephew and his wife when they had their son,Connor. He started signing when he was about 6 months old and now at 2 , he is really communicating with the hearing impaired. I wish you had been available when I had my children and grandchildren. As a Pediatric Nurse I always knew that children could communicate before their vocal cords developed. I taught my children to make some signs, but didn't follow through as I should have. I recommend your program to all my friends. |
Great DVD
Sally, from Hanford, CA

This is a great dvd not only for the signing, spoken words and pictures but my son at 19 months is also learning the classical music that is so pleasant to hear for us as parents watcing also. Thanks can't wait to buy the others. |
Simply Amazing!
Lynn, from Union City, CA

I was introduced to the Baby Hands DVDs through my sister-in-law. She used them for both her daughters. As she passed the DVDs to me for my youngest child, I wasn't sure what to expect. We started playing the First Signs DVD for my daughter at 5 months because the music really soothed her. Now at 9 months, she is signing! She absolutely loves this video and can watch from beginning to end. My two older children love watching it also. It's amazing to be able to communicate with our baby and know that she understands! |
So Perfect for Babies
Julie, from Santa Cruz, CA

My son cares NOTHING for TV of any kind...can't be bothered to stop and watch...Until I put in this DVD. We were amamzed. It is so perfect for babies! It is slow and musical with lots of examples for each word (both real and toy/make believe!) Nice work! |
Fantastic - helps develop language skills!
Chrystal, from Little Rock, AR

I have a degree in Early Childhood Education, and for a long time I was of the firm belief that television in ANY form was not appropriate for children under the age of 2. Little did I realize that such a valuable resource could exist in the form of a DVD.
My mom bought First Signs for my son when I was pregnant with him because she and I have always been interested in basic sign language. I graciously accepted the DVD and silently vowed never to put it in the DVD player until my son was at least 2 years old.
I got curious about it when he was around 11 months old and put it in. We watched it together, and after our first viewing he started signing milk. I quickly realized that this could be a great help for boosting his lagging communication skills. And it absolutely was! When he got a few more basic signs down, I could go through the list if he started to throw a fit -- he usually wanted to eat, by the way ;).
Thanks so much for such a quality product. I love the music, the first-person delivery, the usefulness of the basic signs presented -- everything! I look forward to getting Exploring Signs soon. |

I got my 10 month old grandaughter the FIrst Signs and the Sharing signs videos. She will not sit still and watch any videos except these two! She loves them and it is amazing how quickly she learned and how much fun we have learning and signing with her! |
