Welcome to TinyTalk Dublin South Baby Signing!

I’m Siobhan, an ex PR Consultant and mum to Sean, 4 years old and Charlie, 3 years old. I started to sign with Sean when he was 18 months old and he did his first meaningful sign ‘milk’ within the first few days! By the end of the first month, Sean had a signing vocabulary of 30 – 40 signs with some of his favourites being milk, more, car, duck, bread, yogurt and nappy. I really feel that signing has helped us to avoid the frustration many babies feel when they try to communicate but we adults are unable to understand them. Apart from being able to tell me when he was hungry or thirsty, he was able to tell me if I forgot to put on his bib at mealtimes, when he wanted to listen to music or even if he wanted me to clean the table when he dropped something!

Signing has also allowed me to gain an insight into what the boys are thinking or looking at. It’s amazing how observant Charlie is and when we are in the park he loved to tell myself and Sean when he sees ducks in the pond!

Now that both my boys are constantly talking and have dropped most of their signs I wanted to share to joys of baby signing with other parents and so I have brought TinyTalk to Dublin and look forward to sharing with you the benefits and the fun of TinyTalk!
