Product Description
My Baby Can Talk First Signs The My Baby Can Talk First Signs DVD is designed to be baby's first introduction to preverbal communication. It also provides an introduction to sign language in a format designed to delight the senses while tapping into the baby's language capabilities. The DVD is created to encourage interaction while set to classical music. The DVD takes the whole family on an inspiring adventure to discover the words and signs of the most loved baby words. The My Baby Can Talk First Signs DVD is backed up by research which has shown that babies using sign language tend to speak sooner and with larger vocabulary. IQ scores increase and sophisticated play also increases. Most babies are developed enough to start the exercise at around 10 months. It uses the American Sign Language system of sign language to introduce words including eat, drink, milk, more, book, and go. It is honored with more than six prestigious parenting awards and has been reviewed and endorsed by professionals in the media as well as childhood educators.

 It bores me to tears but I'm not a baby... November 3, 2008
I thought that teaching my baby to sign was silly. At nine months I bought "first signs" for Ruth. She couldn't have cared less. She didn't like videos at all. Before calling it a lost cause I tried again when she was around 12 months.
Now, she will not eat a meal without "baby". As a matter-of-fact, this is how we get her to eat an entire meal. I sit with her and we watch baby signs. I bought the other two videos (sharing signs and exploring signs) and we rotate them. She can do most of the signs and understands them and uses them properly. She is 16 months. I am happy to say at 42 I can understand and use the signs properly as well...
I only gave the video 4 stars because I do think that some of word choices are weird. Why do we need to know the sign for dinosaur? I'm sure someone needs it...not us. However "hat" is more useful than I would have thought. And sharing signs is great with "please" and "thank you".
BOTTOM LINE: My daughter is engaged and entertained and it probably has helped with her verbal communication as well as her non-verbal communication skills. I highly recommend it.
 Excellent Learning Video September 17, 2008

I purchased this video when my adopted son was diagnosed as being "speech delayed" at 9 months. It was absolutely fascinating to see him respond to the simple signs that helped him communicate with me. I would play the video with him sitting in front of me and we would practice the signs together. It helped him see other children actually using the sign language to communicate words. He loved it and I did too. It wasn't very long before he was signing several words to tell me what he wanted. I tied this video with others because they each provided a different way of communicating sign language and words. I found it was most useful to have different videos produced by different companies to offer a broader range of learning. If I have another child, speech delayed or not, I will incorporate sign language videos at an early age to assist in teaching vocabulary and speaking words correctly via sign.
Highly recommended! September 8, 2008

I purchased this video for my 11 month old, who usually won't sit still for more than 5 minutes, and she LOVES it! She will sit and watch the whole video and is completely enthralled by it. What's even more impressive is after just 3 weeks she can make 3 of the signs from the video. I found it helpful to see how a baby might make the signs so I knew what to look for when she started to sign.
It works--here's our story. August 4, 2008

Our twelve-month-old wakes up in the morning and does the sign for dog as she says 'dog' and points up to the video shelf. Dog is her name for the video.
These video's really work. She is starting the third video now and is using new signs every day.
She tells us when she wants milk, is hungry, thirsty, in pain, needs a diaper change, as well as when she sees animals of all kinds. People are blown away when we demonstrate what she can do.
Probably the most profound impact that signing has had on her is that after learning the sign for pain (which is not in the videos) when she hurts herself, she tells us she has pain and where it is. Then when we make the sign for pain and touch her where it hurts, she immediately stops crying. She communicates the pain to us and we let her know that we understand and she no longer feels the need to cry about it. It is amazing.
We let her see one of the videos about four or five times a week and we sign with her throughout the day. We started at about 8 months and within about two weeks, she started signing 'milk'. She picked up about 5 or 6 signs before about the tenth month and then came the explosion of signs. She talks to us all day now in signs. Signing with your baby is a wonderful thing that I'm glad we decided to do.
Although it would be possible to teach your baby signs without the video, the videos are wonderfully effective and I'm sure that our baby wouldn't be doing as well without them.
Very nicely done! June 16, 2008

My daughter has delayed speech and the therapist recommended sign language. My daughter loves baby Einsteins since she was real you and she likes this just as much. It has nice music and she repeats the things that she sees and hears. Very good product!
