Real Stories | Baby Signing Time

Note about the above video: Reading as a result of using this product is not typical; however, more and more families are teaching their children basic reading (which might be more about memorizing word shapes than reading) and early literacy skills that prepare children for reading by exposing them to signing, word patterns, phonemes and a lot of reading together before age three.

Below are testimonials from non-paid users of Baby Signing Time products. Their testimonial comments are their own words prompted by a facilitator asking them questions about the impact of using Baby Signing Time with their child/children. Results may vary from these testimonials.

“Why would you want to wait until they can speak. It was amazing, she was telling me what she wants. When she needs a word, she signs first, then learns the word. I recommend it to all parents. Its so easy. I know it works.”

—Veronica N.

“It is hard to believe that a 12 month old could talk through signs. I felt like I was the best mom in the world. A lot of people were worried about delayed speech, but II think it has helped at a slightly higher level than other kids.”

—Briana McGowan

“Some say it is just a faze, but when a faze works, it can hang around for a long time. I tell people this today, without BST, Hope would not be talking … nor would she have the vocabulary she has.”

—Ann Marie R.

“I recommend it to everyone who has kids. You really should get this. With other programs, she gets bored, but not with Baby Signing Time.”

—Charles/Rullin

“I think he has expressed words sooner, because of signing. The pediatrician was amazed at his signing ability. He recognized words on the flashcard and book. I highly recommended it I had 3 friends who I told that they need to buy the DVD.”

—Sundra Oakley

“I love that he understands and that I understand him. It saves so much frustration and it prevents temper tantrums. He probably has 60 or 70 signs. He knows animals, car, helicopter …”

—Margaret

“ I think within the first year he was up to over 50 signs. He went from more to milk, and then to animals … He recognizes 100% of the alphabet. Honestly that if we didn’t have the signing time then he probably would not be talking like he does, the tantrums, maybe I beet them, and eliminating frustration, and even helping his dad and I not argue over him regarding his communication.”

—Katy Orn

“They don’t have as many frustrations, and as a parent you want that. Our daughter knows how to spell her name because we reinforce letters with signs.”

—Sean/Gina F.

“Her first sign was milk at 6 months old, after she had watched for a week. Elly is 17 months old and she has at least 150 signs. My educational background is child development and I have studied children for years and I feel like it is an amazing product.“

— Heather S.

“If they need to be worried about screen time, then Baby Signing time is the way to go. If parents are on the fence, then I would tell them to start early, that BST is introducing a second language, and that their child will learn how to read early, and understand letters and words.”
