Hello and welcome to TinyTalk Baby Signing classes in Cardiff. My name's Vicki, I'm 33 and Mum to 2 year old Amy.

I'm well into my 2nd year teaching TinyTalk classes having previously been an attendee with my own daughter. Amy took to signing better than I ever hoped. Within 6 sessions she was making her first gestures and at her peak had a repertoire of approximately 95 signs. Working out what she wanted or needed was no longer a process of elimination “hungry”,
“thirsty”, “soggy nappy” she could let us know! She would put signs together like ‘More water please’ and ‘Where’s the book?’ and at the same time learned to say the words too.

Using simple gestures and signs, babies as young as 6 months can tell you that they want milk or that they have seen a bird! As well as reducing frustration this can offer you a wonderful and fascinating insight into baby's world. TinyTalk baby signing classes will teach you everything you need to know about how to sign with your baby in a fun and relaxed session that your baby will love.

The best part of my job is being able to pass on this skill to others and to watch and enjoy it as I see other babies letting their parents know that they can talk - the TinyTalk way!

So if you're looking for something new to get your teeth into why not treat baby and yourself to some baby signing classes and find out what they'd like to say?
