Hello everyone! My name is Jean and I will be conducting a chat about Baby Signs on Friday, May 25th at 6pm pacific time. If you are unsure what time that converts to where you are, just let me know your region and I can let you know.

This chat will be Part One of three chats. I am going to mostly be referencing to a book called Baby Signs: How to Talk with Your Baby Before Your Baby Can Talk, by Linda Acredolo, PH.D., and Susan Goodwyn, PH.D with Doug Abrams. You can find a copy of it here: http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Signs-Tal...9696366&sr=1-1 .

Part One of the chat will cover Chapters One and Two, which look like this:

Chapter One: Introducing Baby Signs
~What are Baby Signs?
~Baby Signs and American Sign Language
~Benefits for your baby
~As easy as waving bye-bye
~How Baby Signs began
~Our goal for this book

Chapter Two: How To Baby Sign
~When to start using Baby Signs
~How to start: Ten steps to success
~A day in the life of teching Baby Signs
~Your baby's progress
~Making learning easy and fun
~Baby signs in child care
~Keeping your eye on the right prize

I intend to give this chat two hours of my time, and hopefully we can cover all of that. I strongly urge parents of all kinds to attend. Whether you are expecting or have a little one too young yet, and would like to learn this information ahead of time, or you are brushing up on it, this chat would really help you out. I would also LOVE to have parents who have already started Baby Signs, and can let us know how the progress is going. You could also help answer questions. (tia haha)

If you are interested in showing up, please let me know and I can send a reminder pm Thursday night. I look forward to a very exciting and informative chat!
