I will start this post by saying I am very anti-TV. B didn't watch TV until he was almost 2 and then it was only Veggietales movies.
Baby Boy is a signing baby. Catherine at Evolving Mommy's daughter is also a signing baby, along with some babies I have worked with at church. I have loved being able to communicate with him effectively and teaching him some additional signs.
Catherine recommended the "My Baby Can Talk" DVD's. I was skeptical about a 16 month old watching TV but figured baby sign language was educational and learning more signs was good for him. I have now checked out all three "My Baby Can Talk" DVD's from the library and Baby Boy loves them!
If you have a signing baby or young toddler I highly recommend these DVD's.
If you have a young baby and you have considered signing with your baby I would also highly recommend it. You won't regret it!
I am with you on the signing! L watches only Go, Diego, Go, and he's actually learned A LOT of language from it.
ReplyDeleteWe started with a Talking Hands DVD, but after looking around, discovered Signing Time. It is very comprehensive and not boring or hard for parents to watch over and over again.
ReplyDeleteI love that Charlotte can use her hands to communicate us where words would otherwise go unsaid. It has helped calm a lot of tantrums before they even start! I recently posted a video of some of the 60-70 signs she now knows because of the Signing Time DVDs.
I am so glad you like the videos. I agree with Jennifer, Signing time is also a good series.
