How Two Moms Started a Communication Revolution
It started on a summer day in 1982 when Linda and her twelve-month-old daughter, Kate, were out in the garden. Enchanted by the colorful blooms all around her, Kate pointed to a rose bush, wrinkled up her nose, and sniffed repeatedly. Life with children often slows parents down long enough to "smell the roses," and Linda had often picked them for Kate to smell, all the while saying things like "See the flower, Kate! See the pretty flower!" Clearly, Kate remembered the connection between the sniffing action and the object, and she trusted that the adults around her would, too. For the rest of the day Kate continued wrinkling her nose and sniffing-her sign-for all kinds of flowers, in the house , on her clothes, and in pictures in her books. Kate continued to borrow or create signs for other things she wanted to talk about, like fish, elephants, monkeys, swings, slides, and balls. It wasn't until two weeks later that we realized the significance of what Kate was doing.
兩位媽媽如何開始溝通研究
它開始於1982年夏季的一天，琳達和她的12個月大的女兒，凱特，在花園裡。被五顏六色的花朵圍繞著，凱特指著一朵巴西玫瑰，皺了皺她的鼻子，反复的聞著。和孩子生活在一起父母門往往沒有興致去“聞聞玫瑰”，琳達經常拿來給凱特聞，同時會說，如“看花，凱特！看漂亮的花！ ”顯然，凱特把聞這個行動和對象聯繫，她相信，她周圍的成年人也是這樣。之後，凱特看到花都會皺起她的鼻子去聞聞，在屋子裡，她的衣服上，在她的書裡的畫上。凱特繼續借用或創建的其他的表達方式，如魚，大象，猴子，鞦韆，滑梯，和球。直到兩個星期後，我們才意識到凱特在做什麼。![]()

The best thing I've done for my child!
I think signing with my baby is the single most important thing I have done to enhance her development and our relationship. Baby Signs has enriched our lives in so many amazing ways!
Dallas, Texas
這是我為孩子做的最好的事！
我認為與孩子用手語交流是幫助孩子發展和加強親子關係的最重要的事情。寶寶手語在很多方面帶給我們驚喜！
It works, it works, it works!
I bought Baby Signs when my baby was just a couple months old. I saw a story on the authors and I had to check it out. We started signing a couple things at 6+ months. I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS!!! REALLY! My son can tell me when he wants a drink, and when he wants a snack, etc.!! I LOVE this!! We have friends that have a baby that is 2 weeks older... and there is a lot more whining and frustration in that home than ours!! (she is not talking yet at all) TRY IT. It takes consistency, but it is worth it!!

它有用，它有用，它有用！
我在孩子才一個月時購買了寶寶手語。我看到了這個作者的故事，我不得不看看她的作品。我們在六個月的時候開始手語。我不能說不夠本！真的！我的兒子能告訴我什麼時候他想喝水，什麼時候他想吃點心等！我喜歡這個！我們有朋友，有一個兩周大的寶寶...她們家比我們家有更多抱怨和苦惱的！ （她都不想說了）試試這個。它重在堅持，但它是值得的！![]()
![]() I love this!
I used this program with my son (who is now 6) beginning at about 10 months of age. He caught on right away-and by 1 year of age was combining signs with simple words to make "sentences." Like the book says, he stopped using the signs as soon as he was able to say the words (which was very sad for Mommy... I loved the Baby Signs!).
Central Pennsylvania
我喜歡這個！
我在兒子十個月的時候使用這個（他現在6 歲了）。他就馬上就學會了到了1歲的已經會把他們連起來說簡單的句子了。就像書上說的,當他會說話了就沒有再使用手語了（作為媽媽來說有點難過...我愛寶寶手語！ ）
