Signing Time Works for Me!

By / 3 minutes of reading

written by Bridget T., Okinawa, Japan My son, Kaemon, was introduced to baby sign language at 6 1/2 months old. I would teach him the few basic signs I knew here and there. When I realized he was signing “more” at a young age, I decided to continue signing with him. I took my first official baby sign language class in Chatan, Japan when he was 8 1/2 months old. I was pretty sure that a lot of the screaming my son was doing came from frustration with not being able to communicate his needs to me.  Since he didn’t …

The Benefits of Signing with your Internationally Adopted Child

By / 5 minutes of reading

Written by Susan Rizzo, Master Signing Time Academy Instructor Simon, or Duan Qi, as he was called then, was completely starved for communication. At least, I have to believe he was. Why else would he have been signing back to us within a day? That’s right, within a day of “Gotcha,” our new son was communicating with us through signs. I had studied first-year Mandarin before our adoption trip, preparing myself to ask important questions like Are you hungry? and What is your favorite color?, only to learn that Simon had no expressive Chinese. That’s right, at nearly three years …

The frustration between Adalia and I immediately started to decrease as our ability to communicate increased. We all learned the signs for …
