Baby Sign Language with Bill White
Baby Sign Language gives parents the opportunity to communicate with their babies long before babies can verbalize their wants and needs. Research shows that signing with babies accelerates language acquisition, reduces frustration and aggressive behavior, and as children mature, results in a greater interest in reading. Attend this free workshop and learn how to start signing with your baby and also deepen the bond between you and your child.
