Hi everyone, welcome to this months newsletter

I have just arrived back from a wonderful two weeks on Bali and I can tell you that using some basic sign certainly came in handy when dealing with some of the locals to try and communicate in the shops and restaurants :)

This month we are very excited to announce that Baby Hands classes are available for the first time in South Australia. Our newest teacher Avonna has just started in Marion SA. Please contact Avonna for more information on class times and availability.

Even though baby sign is more and more popular now there are still the skeptics out there. So, how do you deal with the skeptics and find out the real facts?

Check out all the article listings from previous newsletters or the latest blog posts listed on the right.==>

"Dear Jackie

Thought I would give you an update on how my daughter Keira is doing with her signing, she is now 28 months and signs on a daily basis, from individual words to small sentences eg "I have more milk please".

She likes to sit with her flash cards and her picture dictionary and point out various pictures and then sign them and if she wants to know a sign she will point to a picture then sign "Sign". She is also a big fan of Playschool and when Sofya (auslan presenter) is on she will come get me and point her out by using the sign for sign.

I am also now signing to my 6 month old daughter Aisling and am sure with help from Keira she will be signing back to us in no time."

This month I am very happy to announce that Baby Hands classes are now available for the first time in South Australia.

Our newest teacher Avonna is offering baby sign classes in Marian South Australia.

Avonna is the proud mum to recent twin boys and has found baby sign useful as she copes with looking after the two of them.

Avonna has an extensive background in training adults in business and has decided to refocus that passion and energy into teaching other parents baby sign.

To book a class or find out more information contact Avonna at the website here.

Join one of our teachers for a fun interactive baby sign class and get to meet other baby signers in your area.

If you would like a FREE baby sign class then all you need to do is organise a minimum of 5 friends to attend a class and as the organiser you will get the class for free.
