Signing Time! Volume 2: Playtime Signs DVD

My daughter loves it!
I've been playing this video for my daughter every morning, since she was 6 months old. At 10 months she signed "bye bye". The next week, she signed "hat" (unfortunately, there is not much use in signing this word at this age...) Every week, she seems to add one sign. The next week, she signed "eat", which is awesome cause now she tells me when she wants to eat!! At 11 months, she signed "more", which she uses when we are feeding her. The video shows an illustration of the word, says the word aloud, and also writes the word. Then, the ASL teacher signs the word. Each word is shown and signed three times. The repetition is great for young children. I do wish that the video had more practical words like "come", "be careful", "sleepy", etc. instead of farm animals!! Although at the end of the tape, there is a code to get more signs online... just not practical cause I can't remember the free signs that I saw online! Oh well, my daughter loves the tape and it seems to be working so far. It has been a great purchase, all in all.

My 18 month old triplets love this video!
We have been signing with the babies for a few months and thought we could use some visual help. This video is awesome! It is very clear about how to do the sign and what it is that they are signing. It is also entertaining and keeps the babies attention. We've had the video for a couple of weeks and the babies are picking up new signs every time we watch it. It is so cute to see them sign and they are so proud of themselves. I think it is really helping their frustration levels as well!

These videos are great to teach sign language!!
I purchased Baby See N' Signs I and II on DVD when my son (my second child) was about 6 months old. I had learned about teaching sign language to babies who were having trouble hearing, then researched it on the internet, and was fascinated by the benefits for babies and kids to learn sign language even if they can hear. I turned these videos on and let him watch, and he loved to watch them because of the pictures and sounds (cow mooing, etc.) It's like a sign language book on video, which is great because you can see how the signs are supposed to be signed. Even if you don't intend on teaching your child sign language, it will teach him or her words and language. Then at the same time, they watch the sign being repeated 3 times, with a different picture of that same word 3 times, and they can't help but learn the signs, and neither could I. It was much easier, fun, and faster to learn than from a book with hand-written pictures that you have to try to interpret. Also, I have learned that sign language uses the other side of the brain than speech, so both sides of the brain are used when learning sign language and verbal language. I wanted to teach my son ASL because I heard that sometimes boys can be slower at speech than girls, and I wanted to try to give him an advantage. Well, I sure gave him an advantage! Either the sign language worked, or I was totally wrong! He spoke earlier and knew many more verbal words (than my daughter did at his age), plus a hundred signs or more by the time he was 18 months old. It was (and still is, now that he's 22 months old) WONDERFUL to learn and teach him the sign language! We could communicate before he could talk... it was great. I knew if he was hungry or thirsty, or wanted a bottle, or was wet, or he saw a bird, or saw a car before he could even form the words. It almost felt like I had ESP! People I was around were amazed I knew what he was "talking" about without a single word from his mouth! Now that he is talking VERY well, he still uses the signs along with the words many times, because he almost thinks they "go together". I still "test" him on the signs to make sure he doesn't forget them.... because this is a second language! And my 5 year old daughter has learned many of the signs too. (I didn't have this video when she was a baby). I can still put these videos in, and he's just as thrilled to watch these as any other video we have. It's entertaining to him, even though it's not necessarily an entertainment video, and I feel good about putting in something educational instead of cartoons or something. I have been so excited about the experience this has been teaching my son sign language. And I'm so proud that he is so smart! I have been encouraging people I know with babies to teach them sign language, and I always recommend Baby See N' Sign!

Invaluable Blessing
This video is phenomenal! It not only made quick learning for me but our 18 month old son was mesmerized by it! Our older daughters were 3 and 5 at the time and they learned all of the signs quickly! I had bought so-o-o-o-o many sign language books but found my visual brain quite challenged at "getting" the gist of the signs. We had no idea what a blessing the video would be for our family. Our son was diagnosed with verbal apraxia at the age of 2. It's a neurological disorder that affects the physical ability to utter speech sounds. Thank God for this video! This video not only taught him communication skills, but reinforced those skills bolstering his confidence level and his ability to learn even more signs. He was able to communicate with us using his sign language even though he couldn't say the words. At an age where most children are able to speak 100 words, he could sign over 150 words while he spoke only 5. Nothing adequately replaces the visual demonstration of the signs. The repetition of each sign paired with an actual live shot of what the sign represents had an amazing teaching result with our children. I can't recommend this video enough!

Communication 101
One evening while getting my 15-month-old son dressed, he holding out is pointer fingers and rubbing them together announced "ocks" (socks). When he was praised, he made fists and bumped them together and said "ooze" (shoes). At one year he was showing no signs of communication skills. Looking for a way to communicate with him I searched the internet and found Baby See 'N Sign I and II on www.babyseensign.com. I ordered the videos and within days he was communicating with us. Now, these are his favorite videos over any Disney, Paramount, Universal or any other video. Today, at 2-years-old, he will stop all activities to watch the videos. He does the sign, says the words and imitates the appropriate sound that is played on the video that correlates to the picture on screen. The pace is excellent to encourage proper learning. I am so pleased our communication has enhanced. Whenever I sign to him, he smiles and signs back. I am ecstatic he is learning another language, he will have this knowledge for life. We look forward to more videos to come.
