"Baby sign language is the use of American Sign Language (ASL) signs with your baby or your beginning communicator. Another way to think of baby sign language is "keyword signing." Keyword signing uses signs to represent the main or key words in a sentence at the same time as the words are spoken. This book will show you how, what and when to sign throughout your child's day. You can sign during mealtime, playtime, diaper-changing time and a host of other times in the day. In this book, we'll learn what baby sign language is and the benefits of signing with your baby as well as why and how to sign the alphabet and beginning numbers in American Sign Language."--From publisher.
