Tiny Talkers is bringing its Baby Signing 101 Workshop back to Milagros on Tuesday, June 28, 10:30am:
Are you a busy mom, dad, grandparent, educator or caregiver? Have no time to spare? Then the Baby Signing 101 Workshop is for YOU!
Learning to sign with your baby is simple and you can learn all you need to know in one session. When you learn how to communicate with baby using sign language, you will help reduce tears & tantrums, increase their IQ, boost bonding & actually help them speak earlier than non-signers.
During this workshop, you will learn specific how-to information, invaluable tips & techniques based on how baby’s brain works, activities & games to promote verbal language & get a baby signing dictionary with over 80 helpful signs as well as a journal! The most important thing that the workshop offers is practical advice on how to reach your ultimate goal- verbal language development.
Tiny Talkers teaches American Sign Language (ASL). It is our belief that making up your own language as some other baby sign language programs encourage could present problems if you want others to understand your baby’s signs. Many people know American Sign Language including caregivers at daycare centers and why not give your child a head start on being bilingual?
This workshop is geared toward adults but non-mobile babies welcome if you feel you can comprehend the material while caring for them.
Price Per First Student: $40, Price Per Spouse/Partner: $10
