HELLO! My name is Julie and I'm your local TinyTalk teacher for South West Birmingham and North Worcestershire.
I am mum to my
own TinyTalkers Katie (now 13) and Ellis (now 8)
It was taking Katie to signing classes when she was a baby that made me catch the baby signing bug! I took her from 3 months old and was amazed that by around 5/6 months, she was recognising some basic signs and started signing independently from 7 months. From then on she signed and then talked non stop and her speech / vocabulary as a result have been amazing due to the early ability to communicate with her!
I really believe that baby signing has reduced her frustration and she has been a pleasant, talkative and characterful child as a result :)
Ellis has been signed to since he popped out and as a result, he appeared to start to recognise the sign for Milk from only a few weeks old and amazingly did his first sign at just 9 weeks old!! At 16 months old he was using over 50 signs and attempting new signs / sounds every day. By his 2nd Birthday he had over 150 signs, could count to ten + and was using new words all the time. It is fascinating this time around, signing much earlier, how fast he seemed to be developing :)
My classes are great fun and are a great chance to meet other adults - remembering it is as important for you to socialise as it is for your baby!
They are a mix of signing, singing, fun sensory activities, music, props, instruments (for fun as well as for getting a good rhythm going!),books and much more. All that combined with playtime and refreshments too for a total of an hour.
Everyone is welcome, so why not come along and see what we are all about!
Booking enquiries can be made below or why not pop over and "Like" my Facebook Page! Find me under TinyTalk SouthWest Birmingham & North Worcestershire.
I am looking forward to taking you on your signing journey!
