Overview
Last updated Mar-8-12
Learning to sign with your baby is simple and you can learn all you need to know in one session. When you learn how to communicate with baby using sign language, you will help reduce tears & tantrums, increase their IQ, boost bonding & actually help them speak earlier than non-signers.
During the Baby Sign Language 101 parent/caregiver workshop, you will learn specific how-to information, invaluable tips & techniques based on how baby’s brain works, activities & games to promote verbal language and over 75 helpful signs as well as a journal! The most important thing that the workshop offers is practical advice on how to reach your ultimate goal- verbal language development.
Tiny Talkers is also a certified KINDERMUSIC EDUCATOR and offers several music and movement classes including "Sign & Sing" & "ABC Music & Me" classes along with Kindermusik "Playdates" which are solo classes held several times per month at various locations around town.

Communicating with my 22 month old is simply the greatest gift we could have given each other. Using signs has enabled him to be a happier toddler with quicker access to his favorite items (like milk, books, and playing). With less time being spent frustrated (for both of us!) we are able to spend more time exploring and enjoying the world on our daily adventures! Thank you Tiny Talkers!

We learned how to teach our baby to sign. It was a fantastic class. Shira teaches signs and how to teach them. I highly recommend this class.

If your child is crying and you don't know why you have to consider this concept of sign language. You lives will change. Ours did. You will finally be able to communicate with your child and know what he/she wants. It's amazing.

Wow, I can't believe what a difference this class has made in out lives! Our little Chachi (a redhead with a temper to match) has become a calm little fellow since learning sign language. He's now almost 13 months old and is really enjoying communicating with us and his brother. Our friends are amazed! Thank you, Shira, for your fabulous workshop. I have recommended it to everyone I know!

I took the Tiny Talker's workshop with my son when he was 9 months old (he's now almost 13 months), and I really liked it. I wasn't sure it would be worth the money, but I think it was! My son is doing a lot of signs now. Shira's class offers some really good ideas for how to incorporate baby sign more into your life, and she has good ideas for ways to teach it.

WE LOVE YOU!! NO MORE SCREECHING!! My partner and I woke up about a week ago, and he said "You know what I just realized? Our daughter hasn't screamed in about three days." It was quite the lovely epiphany. We began working with her as soon as we got back from the workshop. After a full week of consistently using a few signs it was as if a light bulb went off. She got it! She began signing "more" not just for food, but for everything she enjoyed. It was so cute--and such a GIFT! We are talking with our girl!! About two or three days after really getting “more” she started signing for “milk” perfectly and is now doing several more signs. We are now going through the class materials again to brush up on all the other signs you taught us. We truly can't thank you enough. The workshop was possibly the best money we've spent on our sweet daughter since her arrival! Again, tremendous gratitude for your fantastic work in the world.

I am a speech-language pathologist who has worked with older children and adults. I took sign language as an undergraduate and had experience with Signing Exact English and ASL. As a new parent I needed help in using baby signs with my infant daughter because I was making it too complicated (e.g. confused about which program to use, introducing too many signs at once and signing complete phrases instead of words). I had a private consultation with Shira. She was extremely organized, caring, positive and knowledgeable. It is clear Shira loves being a parent and is committed to helping others. She assisted me in coming up with strategies to use with the baby and provided clear, easy to implement materials. I highly recommend Shira and her Tiny Talkers program! A workshop and/or consultation would be a meaningful gift for parents and children.

I was impressed with Shira from the very beginning of the class. She was organized, and before teaching us the "how," she went over the "why." Although my husband and I had already decided that we wanted to teach our son sign language, it was wonderful to hear the information that Shira had about the many benefits of doing so. The class was easy to follow, and by the time we were done, not only did I feel totally prepared for the task of teaching this to my 9 month-old, but I was excited to begin. She also makes herself available for follow-up questions, which is above and beyond our expectations. I loved this class, and thought it was worth far more than Shira charges.

This class is a great comprehensive crash coarse in teaching your baby sign language. Most of the focus is spent on how to teach your baby different signs and when to do it. My husband and I really enjoyed Shira and left feeling like we had to tools we needed to teach our daughter to communicate with us more effectively and if we had any questions or needed further help we liked knowing we could email Shira for further support.

As the grandmother of a child who lives in Texas, I am only able to work with Noah during visits and try to encourage his mother at the same time. However, I put together the excellent workshop materials into two, user-friendly binders for my daughter-in-law and myself. During a one-week visit, Noah was watching my hands and responding with a few, appropriate, simple signs. Instead of "crying" his wants or needs, he attempted to sign them. It was so much fun! This workshop taught me everything I needed to know!

My husband and I took this class when our daughter was only 3 months. I already knew lots about signing from working in a daycare, and working with other young babies, so I was worried it would be a repeat. However, Shira did a great job. She started with interesting background information on brain development and then moved on to signing. Another key piece that I found helpful was that she taught *how* to get started, not just what the signs are. Top that off with the fact that the class was short and sweet- one night for a few hours, with info packet of signs to take home for later. Loved it!

I thought this workshop was amazing. I had tried to teach myself how to sign with my baby but I was unsuccessful. After taking this workshop my daughter was signing within a couple of weeks! I was really impressed with the information presented and appreciated that it was just a one time event since I am too busy to attend multiple classes. Highly recommend to other busy parents!

Tiny Talkers is a wonderful class! All the important information a parent can learn in a short workshop and then actually go home and apply it with your baby. I learned a lot of great hints from Shira on how to teach my 7 month old and after a few short weeks, I'm already seeing my baby respond in communication with her hands. I'm learning the signs as I teach them to my baby....it's really easy! Shira provided helpful examples and a great sign language pictionary and journal for parents to track their child's milestones. Wonderful workshop! Highly recommend it!

Through songs, music, toys, simple instruments and loving playtime between you and your child, Kindermusik Sign & Sing shows you many signs your child can use to communicate with you.
Using research-proven methods shown to speed language development in hearing children, you'll see how sign language can ease frustration and enhance long-term learning abilities for your child.
Hearing children who know signs, learn language almost twice as fast. As early as 11-14 months old, hearing children exposed to sign language put little sentences together faster than non-signing children, who do not begin to combine words into short sentences, such as "Da-da car" until the average age of 20 months.
Study conducted by Dr. Michelle Anthony and Dr. Reyna Lindert, Signing Smart program founders.
