"As Parents, You And I Both Know That Being Unable To Understand What Your Child Wants Is Heart
Breaking And Frustrating.
But, What If There Was A Way To Understand What Your
Child Is Thinking And Saying Long Before They Can Talk..."
How many times have you looked at your child and wished they could tell you what was wrong? Why are they crying? What do they need? What are they trying to say? As parents, you and I both know how frustrating and heart breaking this can be.
Dear Parent
Imagine your child being able to tell you “I’m hungry”, “I’m sick”, or “I'm tired”…long before they are able to talk.
Some parents will just go along remaining frustrated, but other parents have taken on the baby signing system and witnessed amazing results. Thankfully, Tinytalk has developed a simple and fun system that you can easily use with your child. Thousands of parents and carers are discovering the benefits of using baby sign language but did you know that you can use baby sign language with children up to 2 ½ years old and that ground breaking research by Child Development Experts has proven that using baby signs with your child can:
- Help reduce tantrums, tears and frustration for you and your baby and the amount of time you spend playing guessing games
- Help your baby talk sooner
- Increase communication and learning at a very early age
- Help your baby develop larger vocabularies & understand more words
- Help improve intellectual development, resulting in higher IQs
- Enrich the bond with you, siblings and carers
- Increase self-esteem and self-confidence
- Reveal how smart your baby really is and give you a window into their mind.
Ellie tells her mum (me) she sees a picture of a duck in the book

My name is Alison Basson and I would like to tell you about my personal experience with baby signing. I first started baby signing with my daughter Ellie when she was five months old. At seven months of age, Ellie was signing back to me, but it was short lived. At around eight months, Ellie became extremely ill and stopped signing. We stopped signing for a while as it wasn’t practical to do so but continued when she recovered.
Because of her illness, Ellie wasn’t interested in food so we decided to concentrate on other signs like LIGHT, WHERE, TELEPHONE and DOWN, along with a few other starter signs. At this stage, the only sign she would do is UP, but clearly understood many more signs. I guess she had her own reasons for not signing (even the pet she adored didn’t get a look in!)
It was a little frustrating and if I wasn’t so convinced of the benefits of Baby Sign Language and hadn't seen other babies signing, I may have been tempted to give up. It wasn’t until Ellie was 11 months old that she started using a few more signs, some of which we hadn’t used for a while. By 12 months of age, she was making eight signs but because of her illness she didn’t start signing EAT, MILK or MORE until she was 14 Months old. And the cat finally got a look in! “Cat” was Ellie’s first spoken word, quickly followed by the cat’s name “Tigger”.
At 14 months, Ellie had 35 words in her vocabulary: 25 signs and 10 spoken words. I was amazed everyday at the things she told me. I cannot imagine a life without baby sign. Ellie would not be the person she is today without it.
My family’s experience with signing wasn’t all smooth sailing, and I share it in the hope that it inspires you, and encourages you to persist with baby sign language. Whatever you do, don’t give up. The rewards once you start using baby sign are worth every bit of frustration!
I was absolutely amazed with the results so I started showing other mothers how to sign with their babies. I was so overwhelmed with the positive response that I decided to share this wonderful thing with every parent, so Tinytalk was born.
Thousands of parents using baby sign through Tinytalk will agree with me when I say that Tinytalk really works and makes a huge difference to your life. You will see extraordinary things happen and I speak from experience; Tinytalk helps with those difficult times but also enhances everyday activities as your baby will be able to tell you if they are hungry or thirsty, tired or sick, wanting to read a book or play with a toy. Imagine how much easier your life will be.
Tinytalk - Baby Sign Language is great to use whether you are a first time or an experienced mother. I often receive feedback like:
“I wish Tinytalk had been around when my other children were little as it would have made life much easier”

Don't just take my word for it
When you become a parent you discover hundreds of products that are available to help make your life easier, but how do you know which ones are the right ones. As a parent myself, when it comes to new products that I am going to use with my child I find the best approach is to listen to recommendations of other parents. So before you purchase anything take a look at what other parents are saying about using the Tinytalk baby sign system.
He started having tantrums at 10 months & I felt he was frustrated, so I thought it was worth a try. The book is easy to understand and very easy to put into practice. I started signing to Dane at 13 months, he signed back to me his 1st sign on our 3rd day of signing- It was amazing!!! We are always learning new signs and he loves telling me things he can see or what he wants to do. It’s very exciting. Anyway I just wanted to let you know how easy Tinytalk is to use and how absolutely wonderful it is to know how much our babies really know & understand but can’t tell us because they can’t speak yet. FABULOUS!!

“We are parents to Jessica, who is now 12 months old. My husband and I both started doing Tinytalk to Jessica when she was 5 months old. At first you wonder if they are really taking any notice of what you are showing them but we soon discovered she definitely was. Jessica did her first sign (“milk”) at 7 months; it was soon followed by more signs. She now does five signs and knows the meaning of six other signs too. The enjoyment we get from seeing our baby communicate with us before she can even speak is just amazing. It has helped both of us to know what she wants and makes us feel like we really are meeting her exact needs. We feel so proud of Jessica and eagerly await the next sign she will show us.”

- Here are some answers to questions I often get asked
-
Why sign if my baby is going to talk soon anyway?
Because until they can talk in sentences and verbalise their needs clearly which isn't until they are about 2 1/2, babies often express their frustration through tantrums, throwing things, or not eating or sleeping. Signing reduces the frustrations that lead baby to express negative behaviour as it gives them the opportunity to express themselves and communicate about things that interest them. Research has shown that signing helps babies talk sooner. Do you really want your baby to miss out on that opportunity?
Will signing interfere with my baby's speech and language development?
Quite the opposite! Research shows that Baby Sign Language encourages babies to talk sooner and helps to develop larger vocabularies. As soon as your baby can say a word clearly enough to be understood, they will generally stop using the related sign, as it is easier for them to talk than to sign.
What if my baby is already talking/saying some words. Is it too late?
Definitely not! Even when babies start to talk, their vocabularies are very limited as it takes time for them to learn new words. In addition, some words like “SCARED”, “ELEPHANT” or “TOILET”- are more difficult than others to master. Introducing signs to babies for words they cannot say can help bridge the gap until they learn the words. As babies learn new spoken words, they can help you to understand the meaning of the words by using signs, eliminating a great deal of frustration for you both.
What about the "terrible two's"? Does signing help?
Research has shown that signing reduces the temper tantrums associated with the frustration babies experience by not being able to communicate. Signing may not completely stop a tantrum when your baby doesn't get what they want (as any parent knows, few things can do that!), but because you understand what your baby wants, you can try to avoid these situations or offer an alternative.
Why Tinytalk is right for you?
You and I both know how demanding being a parent can be, which is why Tinytalk has been designed especially with the busy parent in mind. Tinytalk will give you everything you need to know in a simple, concise and fun approach so all you do is follow the easy step-by-step guidelines and within ONE hour you will be signing with your child.
And guess what, you require NO previous sign language experience. Why? Because Baby Sign Language is used in a different way than traditional sign language. Tinytalk involves signing the key words/signs and not complete sentences.
