Parent Workshop at TBL on 4th April, 4pm

We will be conducting the Baby Signs(R) Parent Workshop in The Baby Loft, on 4th April at 4pm.

Application:

This one-time, approximately 2-hour instructional event is designed to introduce parents (and parents to be), grandparents, and caregivers who would like to communicate with the baby in their life before they can talk, to the Baby Signs® Program of infant communication. It is geared for adults looking to teach signs to babies aged 0 to 2 ½ years or toddlers who have communication delays. You will be taught everything you need to know to get started with the Baby Signs® Program in the comfort of your home.

Objectives:

The Baby Signs® Parent Workshop introduces participants to the history of the Baby Signs® movement and the research behind the program. Participants will be provided with the knowledge and strategies they need to begin teaching their children to use signs. Most importantly, the workshop participants will learn about the many benefits for families who incorporate signing into their daily lives.

You will learn:

-The history and solid research foundation upon which the Baby Signs® Program is based;
-The benefits for you and your baby;
-When to begin signing with your baby;
-Strategies to begin teaching your children to communicate with signs at home;
-Looking out for signs of progress; and
-What to expect as your baby transitions from signs to speech
