  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;Why are thousands of hearing parents signing with their hearing babies? According to a long-term study at UC Davis, funded by the National Institutes of Health, signing babies:&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; &amp;bull;            talk sooner and have larger vocabularies&lt;br&gt; &amp;bull;            have stronger parent/child bonds&lt;br&gt; &amp;bull;            have less frustration, crying and tantrums&lt;br&gt; &amp;bull;            show more interest in books&lt;br&gt; &amp;bull;            engage in more sophisticated play&lt;br&gt; &amp;bull;            have increased IQ scores&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; Signing also increases baby&amp;rsquo;s self-esteem and gives parents a window into their child&amp;rsquo;s mind and personality. &lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt; In &lt;i&gt;Baby Sign Language Basics, &lt;/i&gt;parents will learn 60 baby-friendly American Sign Language signs. Baby-specific signing techniques, songs, and games are included to make learning fun and easy, and also open up two-way communication quickly. &lt;i&gt;Baby Sign Language Basics &lt;/i&gt;is the perfect baby sign language book for new parents. After all, what parent doesn&amp;rsquo;t want to know what their baby is trying to tell them? (And the book is even small enough for the diaper bag!)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>
