Anyone with websites or personal knowledge that is willing to share is appreciated. :-) I have found many websites but none with really good information.

Hi,

I'm just in the early stages of teaching my son Josh some baby sign language but I'm impressed with what he has learnt very quickly and how useful and reassuring it is for me and my husband to know what he is thinking.

It's absolutely amazing to see that now, instead of just crying when he is hungry, he will make the sign for 'food' so we know exactly what he wants. He can also give the sign for 'more'and is starting to use the sign for 'drink'. And all of this is in just a few weeks!

We also like the fact that learning baby sign language apparently leads to children having a higher IQ, having better self esteem and being able to learn faster as they get older.

I am using a baby signing course I found online which includes ebooks, audio and videos. The videos have been particularly useful because I get to actually see exactly how each sign should be done and how it should be taught to Josh. The course is at http://www.easybabysignlanguage.com if you'd like to take a look.

Baby sign language does take a bit of effort, but it's very rewarding and reassuring so I can fully recommend you give it a try.

Ally
