HER BABY SIGNS® PROGRAM EXPERIENCE
Sharon and her husband, Greg, started signing with their daughter at 3 months old. They wanted to be familiar and well-versed with the signs before they taught anybody else. During the process, they also involved other caregivers such as the grandparents and the nannies. Although there was hesitation initially from the grandparents, they followed Sharon and Greg’s recommendation and soon discovered the joy of communicating with their grandchild with ease.
Alexa started signing back at the age of 5 months. Her first sign was “Daddy”. They were thrilled to see that their efforts paid off. At present, Alexa has talked a lot, has learned more than 80 signs and is able to string 3-4 words in a single sentence. Currently, Alexa is helping Sharon teach the babies how to sign. She’s the role-model of Baby Signs Philippines and is passionate as her Mom in teaching parents and their children.
