Join us for a playful workshop, with Sheryl White of Baby Kneads, and learn ways to use sign language to communicate with your little one.
Baby Sign has many benefits, such as giving babies the ability to express themselves before they can speak verbally, accelerating spoken language, deepening the bond between adult and child, and enhancing early literacy skills. Baby sign language gives them the ability to communicate their needs and wishes, without frustration, tears or tantrums.
Babies and toddlers can learn signs important to their lifestyle such as “milk”, “more”, “sleep”, “eat”, “Mommy”, “Daddy” and so on.
In this workshop you will learn about benefits, research, how to teach your baby how to sign, watch instructor interact and demonstrate signing with your baby, and learn new signs with handouts.
This program is for caregivers with pre-verbal babies & toddlers. Both child and caregiver participate in the program.
