Sheri remarks "It's fun to have a conversation with our one year old while playing or reading books, but especially during mealtime. Using sign with Sierra reduces frustration and minimizes us guessing whether or not Sierra is all done, wants more of something, or is thirsty. We look forward to eating with Sierra every day!

I was first exposed to the idea of using the ASL I learned in college with my baby after reading an article in a local parenting magazine about the benefits of using sign language to increase vocabularies and develop higher literacy skills. As a former school teacher I know the importance of giving early learning opportunities to my child. Another WeeHands instructor presented to our local mom's group. It was then that I knew I could become a WeeHands instructor.

I have seen first hand the benefits of learning sign (strengthens the family bond, lessens frustration, crying, and tantrums, increases I.Q., language skills, and ability to pay attention, fosters a love of books and more sophisticated play, builds self esteem and confidence) and would love to pass that information along to other parents."
