Teach Your Baby to Sign Before Speaking
What I don’t learn when I’m checking out links from an ezine, and from a forum. I’ve just discovered something off topic here, but quite fascinating. (I must let my niece know, who has studied sign language). http://www.babies-and-sign-language.com/infant-signing-videos.html
That site has videos where a Mom shows how she teaches her 13 month old to sign and indicate her wishes before she can speak more than a handful of words. If you have babies or small children, you will find this a great solution. It might even avoid a lot of tears and tantrums with a two year old who has intense feelings but doesn’t know the words to tell you.
A tip, just in case you need it. Or pass it on to someone who does.

Thank you for article, but link doesn’t work. seems you have an ” ” somewhere in your code for that link.
(I placed the mouse over the link and that’s what it showed).
Thank you again.

ohhh, sorry you spelled it incorrectly.
It should be ’sign’, and not ’sing’ 
Thanks again.

Thanks for the note!
I’ve just corrected it. Seems I had a gap after the link, and the system threw in a percent sign. The original link was copied from the browser, but I did make a typo in the visable part. I appreciate you bringing it to my attention.
