It really seems like signing has taken off in the last decade, and the Signing Time DVDs are some of the best resources in teaching your babies how to sign. Because the DVDs entertain your baby with songs, don’t be surprised if they catch on to signing very early. It is also helpful that the star teacher of the show, Rachel, has a daughter that is deaf, making her not only experienced with teaching signs, but a believer in its ultimate purpose: to create better communication between mother and child. Rachel does a great job of portraying warmth onto the screen, and before you know it your son or daughter may be signing for milk before they can even speak. The Signing Time brand offers a wide selection of DVDs and gift sets at a very reasonable price.

I spent months trying to teach my first son sign language by myself, using a book. Minimal success. I bought these videos, he watched them, and VOILA. He was signing like a fiend. I still remember when he saw a dog on Christmas Day and started slapping his thigh. I had never seen him do it before, but he knew how!
Something about seeing other kids sign flicks a switch in them. Plus I so love Rachel’s songs. So do my kids and I always love music we both like.
Signing Time comes on PBS now in my city, on Sunday morns and we Tivo it. The kids love it.
