Developed with the help of Speech and Language experts and launched in January 2001, the "Sing and Sign" programme has since taught tens of thousands of parents across the UK how to sign with their babies and encourage amazing early communication.
About
Hello, my name is Lois and I discovered the joys and huge benefits of Sing and Sign, initially with my eldest son, now five years old, and currently with my second son, who is now two. Learning to sign with my babies has been an incredible experience. For them both to have been able to communicate with me before they could talk has been amazing and so useful - being able to say when they want ‘more’ (usually) food, when they spotted a ‘duck’ or ‘dog’ (always an exciting event), when the roundabout was too ‘fast’ so I could slow it down, when my cup of tea was ‘hot’ – letting me know they know not to go near it, and SO MUCH more!
My eldest's signing vocabulary quickly grew and grew, and his speech soon followed, he is now a very confident speaker. My youngest still uses signs alongside his emerging words to express himself, which is helpful in this early stage of speech development when words can sometimes be a little tricky to make out clearly. I often catch him having some “quiet time” reading a book to himself IN SIGNS and it just melts my heart! I really believe that being able to communicate through signing eases much of the frustration that many babies and toddlers experience when they cannot make themselves understood.
I am so excited to share the magic of Sing and Sign with other parents and their babies.
