Communicate by signing not whining!
February 22, 2008
Haven't you ever looked into your baby's eyes and wondered what they were thinking or what they wanted? Now you can; through Small Talk - Baby Sign Language. Babies are capable of understanding language before they are able to speak. Learn to communicate simple concepts and ideas with your infant by using baby sign. A two-hour class to be held at Brewster Elementary, April 5, 2008, from 9:30 to11:30 a.m., will introduce you to the exciting new world of communication with your child. Benefits include decreased crying, enhanced self-esteem, communicating 16 months prior to talking and a potential increase of 10-12 IQ points. You will learn 60 key vocabulary words and watch an educational video showing baby signing. This class is valuable for parents, family members and childcare providers. (Class is structured for adults.) The instructor is Susan C. Hagel, MS, CTRS, who has taught Baby Sign Language for 6 years and Conversational American Sign Language for over 30 years. She is registered with the Greater MN Day Care Association. To attend, please complete the registration form below and return to Brewster Elementary with your $5.00 class fee.
