Unlike the many dictionaries on the market, it provides both practical and background information on how signing to and with your young child can enhance your communication, emotional bond and their language/behavioural development in many different ways. Authored in conjunction with the UK's most respected courses, 'Sing and Sign', the book offers firstly a full overview of the history and benefits of signing before outlining the essential signs and moving on to more detailed communication with your baby. From bilingual to special needs children, and covering development right up to the learning of the alphabet and phonics for older children, this practical and informative manual comes with embedded video, so you can practise and learn directly with your child at home.
