| Description: | Baby Sign Language 101 - Parent Workshop
12:30 pm - 2:15 pm
$40 for first student, $10 spouse/partner also in attendance.
Imagine knowing what your baby wants before they can talk! Babies can talk with their hands before they can speak! Learning how to communicate with baby, reducing tears & tantrums is easy when you teach them sign language, which also increases their IQ, boosts bonding & actually helps them speak earlier than non-signers. At the workshop, you'll learn invaluable tips & techniques based on how baby's brain works, over 80 common signs, activities & games to promote verbal language & get a baby signing dictionary & journal!
The workshop is 1.75 hours long and is for adults, but non-mobile babies are welcome if you feel you can care for them while concentrating on the information being presented. Childcare may also be available for classes offered on
a Tuesday or Thursday on a limited basis with pre-registration required. Contact Zenana Spa for childcare reservations: 503.238.6262

Shira Fogel began to research baby sign language when her daughter was a baby and too young to communicate. Her daughter absolutely thrived with her newfound knowledge and Shira is now teaching it to her young son.
When Shira’s son was 6 months old she started signing with him. By 14 months old, he used over 30 signs! By 18 months old, her son regularly used over 100 signs while starting to develop his verbal vocabulary. It is an absolutely amazing experience and she is so happy to have given him the gift of communication so he can tell everybody his needs and desires at such an early age.
Intrigued by the benefits of baby signing with hearing babies, Shira couldn't wait to become certified in order to spread this knowledge of American Sign Language (ASL) with other parents and caregivers who want to be less frustrated, give their child a gift of communication and have a greater bond with their child/children.
SPACE IS LIMITED: PLEASE PRE-REGISTER
