Milestones

Milestones cannot be measured with distance nor rocks. Every baby and every mommy has a different way of measuring success. The Baby Signs® Program experience will be different for every family. One of the most interesting parts of working with families is seeing the many different goals people set for themselves. I've worked with teen moms who are struggling with finding ways to connect to their babies and find The Baby Signs® Program to be an easy way to interact in a fun, non-threatening way. There are no theories to read about, no regimented plan to follow.
You know you're using the program correctly if it feels like game and brings smiles and laughter to you and your baby. Just like any game, learn a few rules (signs) and enjoy the ride. They watch their babies begin to take the baby steps to success. You'll remember the first time your baby watches your hands with a new found curiosity. You'll remember the first day your baby deliberately moves their hand into position to respond with a sign. You'll especially remember the day that tears and frustration were avoided because your baby was able to guide you in the right direction when trying to problem solve. Ahhhh..... the priceless feeling of being able to really interact and communicate with your baby before your baby can talk. It's not about reaching a milestone, being the first to sign, or even being the best signer. It's about connecting with your baby. Finding that common language and being able to reach one another is something some people cannot achieve in a lifetime.
