Book Reviews of Sign With Your Baby: How to Communicate With Infants Before They Can Speak (Revised, ASL - English Edition)
Book Review: The best, by far!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read most of the 'baby sign' type books out there before deciding to purchase this one (and the DVD, of course!). I've also had some (limited) experience with using ASL in previous jobs. This system is FANTASTIC if you are looking for a way to teach a language which can grow and grow and grow. I don't like the idea of just making up signs. . . unless you just want to use them *temporarily* as a band-aid until your child speaks. Using ASL allows this to be something your child can use far into her/his life; it is, after all, a second language you are teaching! The other thing I really liked about this book/system is that it has a LOT of faith in the intelligence of babies!
My husband (who was not convinced that this was such a good idea until he actually read the book and watched the DVD) and I began signing to our daughter when she was 4 months old (yes, a bit early, but we were just so excited!)-- just "milk" and "eat". She is now 6 months old and occassionally approximates the sign back to us; she *always* understand what we are signing and gets very excited!
The book is very clearly written and organized, and illustrated. The DVD is excellent for a quick 'refresher' on any signs you may not remember. We haven't began adding signs yet (as she hasn't yet mastered the first two) but we have been brushing up for when the time comes!
Some reviewers have complained that babies do not often sign the precise ASL sign initially and that it can be difficult to figure out; Dr. Garcia actually does address this, VERY well. He also gives possible sign approximations your baby may use. It's like any other skill you teach your baby, it takes practice on the baby's part and patience on mommy and daddy's part.
I guess it boils down to what you are looking for-- a true, proven, language or a quick fix that can be put aside when speech developes.
