It was such a joy to have a dear young mom and her sweet first baby, Emma, in a recent Sign, Say, and Play baby sign language series. Here are the mother's thoughts about St. Croix Birth & Parenting's Baby Signs classes!
Q: What reasons did you have for wanting to learn Baby Signs (R) with your baby?
​A: We wanted a way to communicate with Emma before she was able to do so by speaking so we could better respond to her needs and help her to feel empowered and connected. 
Q: Do you think Emma enjoyed the classes themselves? If so, how could you tell?
​A: Yes! Watching on the iPad for 45 minutes was beyond her so young, but she definitely engaged happily each time, and she really seemed to enjoy playing pretend dressing her Teddy—all smiles and excited sounds!
Q: Did you ever see Emma use Baby Signs in her daily life? If so, what signs did she use?
​A: She is not signing yet, but she seems to watch our hands when we do. 
Q: Can you think of a time it helped you or other family members to use signs with Emma?
​A: We use them as much as we can, especially “all done” and “more,” which I think has really helped us with feeding but also when we have to change activities or redirect her to say we are “all done”! Emma always smiles when we sign “dog”! We definitely think they will help as her capacity to comprehend the signs and then to use them grows!
Q: Is there anything you would say to parents or caregivers about using baby signs with babies?
​A: It is fun, functional, and building strong connections between my baby and me and in her brain as she already develops her neural pathways for language before she can ever speak. 
Q: Would you recommend SCBP Baby Signs (R) classes?
​A: I already have to several moms!
Thanks so much for this wonderful feedback!

It shall not fear when heat comes, and its leaves stay green; In the year of drought it is not anxious, and it does not cease to bear fruit." ~Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NRSV-CE)
