Baby Signs

Talk with your baby before your baby can talk! Babies have so much to say-but without words, communication can be frustrating! Now there's an effective way to avoid those tears and tantrums by teaching babies how to 'talk' with their hands using the Baby Signs(r) Program-based on simple sign language that allows babies and toddlers to communicate what they see, what they need, and even how they feel. Research has proven that using the Baby Signs(r) Program with babies has dramatic benefits: including decreasing the frustration of babies and parents, enriching the parent-child bond, boosting emotional development, and helping babies talk sooner - even raising IQ.

In Baby Signs(r) "Sign, Say & Play(tm) Classes," parents and babies enjoy 6
weeks of fun-filled play classes with lots of signing, singing and dancing
activities that highlight important developmental skills. The Sign, Say &
Play(tm) Starter Kit, filled with exciting Baby Signs(r) products, is
included in the enrollment fee. To enroll in the Baby Signs(r) Program, please contact Sharon Rashbaum at 856-797-5713. Classes staring at The Discovery Museum on Thursday January 17, 2008 at 10:00 am. Second session starting on February 28, 2008. www.SouthJerseyKidsConnection.com
