"Our daughter just did her first sign...Daddy! She is 5 months old. Joann taught us how to sign and let us know that persistance is key." |

| "Although my son didn't pick up signing right away, I stuck with it and all of a sudden he was able to communicate with me that he wanted "more", to "eat", or needed some "milk". He was less frustrated because I was able to show him that I could understand what he was saying. It was exciting that to add other words he recognized, like "dog", and a special bonus when he learned manners like, "please" and "thank you". Baby signing is a rewarding way to communicate with your baby at a much earlier age - and it helps you understand the babbles as they become words because there is a sign associated to it."

| " I was having BIG problems with our son throwing his bowls, cups, food, etc off his high-chair at meals. I introduced 'all done', in a different context and within a few hours, he used it at the highchair. I immediately took him out of the chair. No spaghetti on the floor! Just like that, the problem was eliminated! From then on, he would sign 'all done' and give me a chance to respond before throwing the contents of his tray on the floor." Lisa, San Diego |
