Talking Hands: A Sign Language Video for Children

Summary: The Best! A Great Video for ANY child
Review: The more I read about this topic (sign language for kids), the more I've discovered that introducing signs to your child is a great idea. And I do not have a hearing-impared child, but it's clear that my children (ages 2 & almost 5)get a great kick out of watching this video! We use the signs for "eat & drink," "girl and boy," "please & thank you" and lots of others, just for the pure fun of it. While my kids are not infants anymore and already have a good verbal language base, I read recently about the great benefits of using signs with kids as they are developing those skills, which helps them express themselves. Having seen many a frustrated toddler who can't explain what he wants, I think that's a great idea, and I, for one, am all for it. I recommend this tape to anyone!

Summary: Best first start
Review: This is the best first start for babies. I have a day care @ home. We watch 1 TV program per day. This video really teaches the children quickly. It also is so exciting for them. Babies can't communicate with many words, but they can sign for much more. This brings communication w/parents also much easier.

Summary: Stinky Robot Signs!
Review: This video is definitely NOT my favorite. As the mother of a hearing, nonverbal child for whom Signing has been alife saver, let me tell you that this video is dry, robotic and not terrifically helpful. My child wasn't interested at all. We have other videos like Signing Time that are much better.
