Video Sneak preview

Here is a sneak preview of My Baby can Sign 1 as it can already give you a little bit of an idea what signing looks like. After some impressions of the course you will see my daughter sign her way through meal time and animal signs just before her 1st birthday. Just click the picture to start the video, enjoy!

What is a good age to start signing with your baby?

  • A good time to start is when your child is between 6 and 9 months of age, as this is often a time when babies usually start to make attempts to communicate and make hand movements such as waving hello and goodbye. Your baby will also most likely start to sit unaided around this time, which makes things easier. If there is an older sibling, it can make sense to start earlier and to involve the older sibling in using signs with the younger brother or sister. Even children who already speak a few words can still tremendously benefit
  • If your child is around two years old and speaks very little (50 spoken words is the average vocabulary of a two year old; children who are exposed to signing generally have a larger vocabulary) signing can help to improve communication and support speech development very fast. At two years children already have a good passive understanding of language which helps with picking up signs very quickly.

How does participation work?

Online delivery

Understand Your Baby’s Thoughts is an online course, all course material is delivered via my website. You can work through the material (audio recordings, video, assignments) from the comfort of your home at a time that suits you, in other words you will not need to be infront of your computer at a certain time. To work through the course material only takes about 30 minutes per week and this can easily be split up into smaller chunks. You’ll be able to see the duration of videos and audios before even opening them.

Support of a group of like minded mums

The course provides flexibility for any parent to join (regardless of whether you are working, maybe even working irregular hours or staying  at home and regardless of which time zone you are in). At the same time the course is run as a group course so that you can meet the other participants on the course for mutual support. You can meet in Our Mamas Rock – Café (a private Facebook forum) and I encourage participants to find signing buddies via Skype or Google+ to sing and sing together and give each other motivation to keep signing even when your child is not signing back yet.

Starting date and duration

The course kicks off with an eMail on Monday, 3 March and lasts for five weeks. Every week for the duration of the course you will receive access to a new module of the course. No worries if you are not able to work through the course material in the course duration. You will have an option to extend your access. Additionally you will keep access to Our Mamas Rock – Café as long as you wish.

What other mums say about my courses

“Thank you Diana for this wonderful course!”

I found the audio recordings were great for listening to in the car and on my phone… Truly portable and time saving! I’m also happy to report 9 month old Miguel has learned to use 4 signs during this course! It took much longer for my older son to begin signing and I think UYBT was a big factor in this. Keep it up, this is a great resource!

“My baby girl signed ‘milk’ and ‘more’ for the first time”

With my husband as a witness, Lena signed ‘milk’ this morning already sitting up in her bed and smiling at the day. And yes, she wanted to drink ‘more’ at breakfast when I latched her on. We are stunned. The course helped me realize that my baby daughter already wants to tell me so many things (what she sees, hears, feels, wants to know, needs, …). I also enjoyed the more general parenting (non-signing related) tips included in the course.

“More kisses, mama!”

Every day is a surprise signing with Luka. Today we had a wonderful experience while skyping with my mum and grandma: I started to kiss Luka all around his neck and cheeks to make him smile and as soon as I stopped he signed ‘more’! I really enjoy signing with him…

“Perseverance pays off”

I’ve just been trying to count up all of Louis’ signs. He’s 17.5 months now and I have counted 60 signs that he uses regularly. There may be others that I just haven’t thought of, but that’s what I came up with off the top of my head. My husband and I are so delighted we started signing when he was a tiny baby and persevered for many months when he wasn’t signing back. He finally clicked at about 12 months and his signing has just taken off since then. What’s even more amazing is that he recognises all of those words in English and French and has the sign as a bridge between the two languages. He still only has about 3 spoken words so it’s an absolute relief and joy that he can communicate with us using his signs. Just had to share this with you and the other signing Mamas! Thank you, Diana, for your infectious enthusiasm about baby signing. It really helped us to keep going for months and months before Louis actually started signing!
