It gives you the gift of communication with your little one before she can actually talk. No surprise there, right?

My toddler has a fairly extensive spoken vocabulary, but when she cannot express the right words she often can sign …

By Colleen Brunetti, M.Ed., C.H.C. Adoption Adoption to me, means not only the expansion of my family, but a fulfillment of a dream. Many years ago, when I was still in college, I knew in my heart that someday I wanted to pursue adoption. I was a nanny for two little girls adopted from China.

In an instant, I saw what her life would have been like as a female orphan in a place that …

It seems that more people are picking up on the benefits of learning how to sign with children, and have even started teaching pre-verbal infants as young as 9 months to sign.

I conducted some research and found a couple articles talking about the benefits of learning sign language at a young age. Some articles are what we have written, but some demonstrate other families …
