FROM THE PUBLISHER

All parents eagerly await the day their babies can tell them what they need, feel, and think. Thanks to Baby Signs, this no longer means waiting until babies can talk. All babies have the potential to learn simple, easy-to-remember Baby Signs, such as tapping fingertips together for "more" or touching fingertips to mouth for "hungry." Now your baby can join the hundreds of thousands of babies around the world who are using Baby Signs. Child development experts Linda Acredolo, Ph.D., and Susan Goodwyn, Ph.D., discovered Baby Signs in 1982. After two decades of research, Acredolo and Goodwyn have found that babies whose parents introduce them to Baby Signs learn to talk sooner, have fewer tantrums, get a jump start on their intellectual development, express emotions effectively, and develop stronger bonds with their parents. Baby Signs are as easy to learn as waving "bye-bye" and offer you a priceless window into your child's mind. The memories for you and the benefits for your baby will last a lifetime.
