Chicago Parent and Baby Classes Hi parents! Parents magazine listed signing with your baby as one of "50 Easy Ways to be a Fantastic Parent" (December '08). Signing with your baby or toddler helps them tell you how they feel and what they need before they have the words to tell you. Research has demonstrated that signing reduces frustrations for babies, helps them connect with their parents and caregivers, boosts baby's self confidence and makes learning to talk easier. Learn signs, strategies, tips and activities to help reinforce your baby's development in this fun and interactive class with a speech therapist. Parents learn over 50 signs across six weeks with themes chosen especially for your growing baby; Meal-time, Bed-time, Bath-time, Getting dressed, Pets, and Park. Babies are introduced to signs through songs, Bee-Bo the signing bear, games, parachute play and books. A new session is forming and begins on Thursday, May 21st. Sign up by this Saturday, May 9th for a 10% discount. For additional information, please visit http://www.babysignsprogram.com/bywendyauffant/ or email wendysigns@gmail.com Thanks and hope to meet you at our next class! , lilaguide.com - Stores, Restaurants, Services, Products, Activities, Events

	Now enrolling for summer sessions of "Sign, Say and Play" beginning July 9th. Sign up by Sunday, June 29th for a 10% discount. Want to take a look at some research which supports the use of gestures and "Baby Signs"? The University of Chicago published a study earlier this year which looked at the amount of gestures 14 month olds use and how it relates to larger vocabularies at 54 months of age (with vocabulary as a predictor of school success). "It's No Charade: Baby Gestures Could Help Speaking" February 18, 2009 http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/OnCall/story?id=6901286&page=1 Still want to learn more about baby sign language before committing to a class? Bring your little one to a free event with Wendy and Beebo the Baby Signs bear in the park. Learn more about the Baby Signs program and the benefits to parents and babies this Thursday, June 25th. You will be introduced to a few starter signs to begin signing at home as well as enjoy story time, songs and Baby Signs games. This two session event will run from 10-10:45 AM AND 11-11:45 AM. Join us for the event that fits with your busy schedule. Please RSVP to wendysigns@gmail.com and indicate with your RSVP which event you will attend. Since we will be in the park, please bring a blanket or towel. If the weather does not cooperate, we will reschedule. Location: Welles Park 2333 W Sunnyside Ave @ Lincoln and Montrose Avenues Chicago, IL 60625 (Please meet at the gazebo on the west side of the park.) Flag
