Free TinyTalk taster session for baby-signing
TinyTalk classes are actually fun for both babies and mothers. The classes have a lot of toys and musical instruments and singing. At the same time there is signing, sensory experiences and play/social time. These sessions are one hour long. They are 2 half hour classes. Everybody gets involved in singing, musical instruments, with toys and signed books. The other half hour is focussed on social time. The children are given clean, good quality age-appropriate toys to play. The parents or adults have a social time with tea coffee and biscuits. Older children are also encouraged to come and enjoy the session. They too can have fun, songs and action songs as the babies have.
Baby-signing is a means of communication. You can communicate meaningfully with your baby. It helps the baby to tell you what he or she wants. It helps you get a wonderful insight. You can understand what’s in their minds, their interests, their excitement. They need not be frustrated or cry with tears. Both child and adult can benefit and be happy. For free taster session contact Eluned Winney by email to elunedw@tinytalk.co.uk.
