Mealtime and Bedtime Sing & Sign: Learning Signs the Fun Way through Music and Play

by Anne Meeker-Miller PhD

Overview

Finally, a way to ease the most challenging times of day with baby. Since signed gestures enable babies to "tell" caregivers what they want and need before they can talk, mealtime and bedtime are occasions when signing can really come in handy. Based on Dr. Miller's popular workshops, Mealtime and Bedtime Sing & Sign is a user-friendly guide featuring over 200 signs with photos, instructions, and activities. An all-new, 12-song CD with upbeat music followed by calm lullabies teaches and reinforces key signs.
