    <![CDATA[&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:<br/>  <br/> &bull;            talk sooner and have larger vocabularies<br/> &bull;            have stronger parent/child bonds<br/> &bull;            have less frustration, crying and tantrums<br/> &bull;            show more interest in books<br/> &bull;            engage in more sophisticated play<br/> &bull;            have increased IQ scores<br/>  <br/> Signing also increases baby&rsquo;s self-esteem and gives parents a window into their child&rsquo;s mind and personality. <br/>  <br/> In <em>Baby Sign Language Basics, </em>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. <em>Baby Sign Language Basics </em>is the perfect baby sign language book for new parents. After all, what parent doesn&rsquo;t want to know what their baby is trying to tell them? (And the book is even small enough for the diaper bag!)<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>
