Welcome to Signing With Susie!

More and more parents are learning and using baby sign language to communicate with their little ones. Signing boosts baby's language skills, literacy, and brainpower.

Parents and children universally seem to appreciate the ability to communicate at an earlier age than would otherwise be possible.

Does this sound familiar? At 3am your ten month old baby is crying inconsolably. “What’s wrong?" you ask, wishing you could understand her thoughts as she attempts to vocalize to tell you what she wants. 3am quickly becomes 4am, 5am...

Now, imagine THIS scenario: Around 3:00am you ask your ten month old infant “What’s wrong?” She immediately forms her hands to sign “teddy bear”! (Tapping her chest with both hands signifies the act of cuddling a teddy bear or other soft toy.) You hand her Mr. Teddy, and gratefully, your baby grabs and squeezes her comforting little bear buddy, and immediately lies back down to sleep.

Yes, this is truly possible!
