Baby Signs: How to Talk with Your Baby Before Your Baby Can Talk

Baby Signs: How to Talk with Your Bab...

Preis: ?

Baby Signs is a remarkably simple way to improve communication between parent and child, using the everyday signals and mimicry that every baby learns from an early age in order to develop an understanding and rapport. Authors Linda Acredlo and Susan Goodwyn, both active members of the International Society for Infant Studies, show how easy it is to use simple signs to help parents to gain a greater understanding of their baby, while helping the baby to develop skills that will benefit them greatly as they mature into toddlers. Using no-nonsense language and easy-to-follow photographs, Baby Signs interprets the early gestures of infancy and encourages parents to interact with their offspring without pressure, while learning to enjoy the pleasures of a small child as he or she begins to interact with the world. Encouragement, repetition and laughter are the order of the day in this cracking little book, designed to help parent and child get the most out of each other as they learn together.-- Susan Harrison

From Library Journal
After studying baby sign language with a grant from the National Institutes of Health, Acredelo (psychology, Univ. of California, Davis) and Goldwyn (psychology, California State Univ., Stanislaus) conclude that babies who are taught to use signs to express basic ideas (e.g., fingers to the lips for eat, fingers raised in a V for bunny) before they can say the words are both happier because they can communicate with others and more adept at speaking once they begin to acquire language. This is not a scholarly exegesis of their findings but a practical, easy-to-use guide to teaching baby signs. The authors begin with an explanation of their findings and then offer a portfolio of suggested signs in which simple pictures are accompanied by description, memory aid, and suggested situations for use. The book has an upbeat, encouraging tone that parents will appreciate. Interestingly, Parenting magazine cited the authors' study in the "News and Reviews" section of the May 1996 issue?but failed to mention this book! For all parenting collections.?Barbara Hoffert, "Library Journal"
