"Is it advisable to teach baby sign to my baby?" by Brown     November 12, 1997
	Q: I have heard of a book that teaches baby sign. Is this a good idea or will it further delay talking as a child learns to communicate without talking?
	A: The book Baby Signs is excellent because it makes the point that communication begins with body language, not just verbal language. It certainly will not delay talking. If anything, it should accelerate it because baby learns the joy of communication. By learning to read baby's body language, you are able to communicate with your baby long before he or she becomes verbal. -- Bill and Martha Sears
