Talk sooner and have larger vocabularies . Have stronger parent/child bonds . Have less frustration, crying, and tantrums . Show more interest in books . Engage in more sophisticated play . Have increased IQ scores . Signing also increases baby's self-esteem and gives parents a window into their child's mind and personality.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR(s)
Monta Briant heard about baby sign language when she was expecting her first child. She began signing with her daughter, Sirena, when she was 6 months old, and was so impressed with the results that she felt impelled to share what she and her daughter had learned with other parents and caregivers of young children.
Monta teaches all the classes and workshops herself. Sirena, now 3, helps out at some classes; demonstrating signing along with songs, games and story time. Monta Briant has achieved Sign2MeT Presenters' Network Level I Certification, an official acknowledgement of her proficiencies and high professional standards.
