My Baby Can Talk Sharing Signs :: Education by Design Store

Editorial Review
Inspiring early language development - from simple gestures to first spoken words.

Designed to encourage interaction, My Baby Can Talk - Sharing Signs teaches babies to communicate before they can speak using sign language in a format that delights the senses while tapping into a baby's innate language capabilities. Set to classical music, My Baby Can Talk - Sharing Signs takes babies and their parents on an inspiring discovery of 28 words and signs that are most loved by babies - including all done, apple, bath, ball, daddy, diaper, elephant, flower, help, mommy, please, share, and thank you!

Honored with fourteen prestigious parenting awards and reviewed and endorsed by child psychologists, professionals in the media as well as early childhood educators; the My Baby Can Talk series inspires preverbal communication as well as first spoken words and is the first program featuring preverbal babies signing. Research has shown that babies who use sign language tend to speak sooner with larger vocabularies, show an increase in IQ scores and engage in more sophisticated play.

The My Baby Can Talk series is specifically developed to respect the developmental stage, attention span and intellect of hearing babies from 10 to 36 months. This program includes a Parent Tutorial and a printed Quick Reference Signing Card.

Great Learning Video

2008-09-17
I found this video to be extremely helpful when my adopted son was diagnosed as being speech delayed at 9 months. He immediately was able to connect the words on the video with the signs that were being taught. More important, it assisted him in learning new words and how to speak them properly. I knew the sign language lessons with him were working when he was signing "baby" to me when he wanted his teddy bear who was immediately named "baby bear" forever. He used his new words that he learned in sign to ask for things he wanted like "drink" "eat" and "ball" with a signed "please" and "thank you". It gave him a sense of accomplishment and encouragement to learn more words through sign.

Best in the series

2008-07-28
We own the whole series and this one is definitely the best. You can tell the filmmakers learned from the other two. The transition between words and the pace is a lot better. They also teach 'please' and 'thank you' which is more useful than animal names. I love the addition of the girl signing the song at the end. My one minor complaint is gonna sound strange to those who haven't seen it but...those of you who have will agree. Do you remember when the monkey asks the giraffe for help to get the banana? He forgets to say thank you!

Love it!

I bought this and also the first DVD to teach my son baby sign language. It is a blessing! He learned quite quickly and so did I! Makes it so much easier to know what it is your baby wants!

Our Daughter Loves It

2008-04-14
Our daughter simply loves this DVD! She's about eight months old. We don't mind letting her watch some television, as long as the content is educational and doesn't switch scenes too quickly. This baby sign video has good music, cute puppets, good actors, good narration and good quality picture. My daughter can't do the signs yet, but I'm sure she's learning and will show for it later.

baby sign breakthroughs

Part of an entertaining series (though "exploring signs" is less entertaining for my son to watch), well worth the investment. Not as much demonstration of sign technique as some other baby signing videos, but this keeps flow of videos more entertaining for young viewers.

son loves!

Sign language fun! 2008-02-17
My 22 month old loves this video and picked up the signs very quickly! Her spoken vocabulary also improved as soon as we started using the signs. This is an engaging demonstration that toddlers really enjoy and can learn quickly!

Great series! 2008-02-16
My daughter (18 months now!) loves this series. She laughs and claps whenever I put it on.
We started showing her the series at about 7 months but she didn't get interested until about 13 months. I was shocked at how quickly she began making signs at that point.
Her verbal skills are expanding rapidly at this point but her pronunciation is still horrible - like most toddlers, only mommy and daddy can understand what she says. Signing lets her get her point across much more easily so she feels far less frustrated.
The only odd thing I've noticed is with the Mommy and Daddy signs. These are hard concepts to get across in a video and my daughter has ended up thinking all women are called mommy and all men are daddy. My husband and I are still DADDY and MOMMY however - note the captial letters - so I don't see it as a problem. In time she will learn that the correct word for other women is WOMAN and the correct word for other men is MAN.

Did it again! 2007-12-27
This is the second series that I purchase for my daughter.

It includes these signs: monkey, share, ball, balloon, lion, thank you, please, boat, airplane, giraffe, elephant, bath, sleep, cereal, diaper, help, hat, mommy, daddy, baby, shirt, socks, train, apple, flower, tree, etc (i dont remember the rest).

a little bit more complicated than the first dvd. but it still works! I still have waiting these words though: hurt, potty, stop, or wait. since it is very useful!

i like also the last episode in this dvd when they ran the SOCK songs with all the signs. I can learn how to sign other things like: black, white, day, night, brown, bear, pig, town, blue, red, purple, play, cool, hopping, land.

looking forward to watch the third dvd!

PS: my daughter starts to watch the first dvd in her 12 months old and we've been moving forward to the second dvd when she was 14 months. Now she JUST turns 16 months and she is almost mastering both dvds! that shows that small children is a fast learner!

The best gift you can give a child 2007-12-18
This is my daughter's second video. We started watching the First Signs when she was 9 months old. Now she is 19 months old and LOVES these videos. She is always wanting to learn new signs, faster than I can keep up! Her speech has not been affected, althought I would say she can speak and understand better than most kids her age. We love these videos and wait for more to come! Thank you!
