seriously am i getting too old and cynical but really!! baby signing!!! has the world gone mad...

clicked on to the website and apparantly I no longer have to guess whether mindees are hungry/cold/wet/scared/drunk(made that up).. i should know because they can sign to me and I can underststand....

is it me.. or do I know that by instinct and knowledge allready.. or dare I say commen sense....

god its bad enough when kids actually can bloody well talk without including the ones who cant yet verbalise....

i can only think that parents who subscribe to this dont have teens.. god for the gift of silence then!!!

there seems to be an industry and a job for any silly crap these days.. gaar gaar and goo goo(that means pour me some wine btw)

Actually, I read Thebody's comments as being somewhat tongue-in-cheek. I think the suggestions that she get another job to be out of order, since you don't know her personally and have never seen her working.

I use Makaton myself because I have a special needs nephew and the kids all pick it up almost without realising it. They do find it helpful to communicate and my nephew has really come on now that he can talk to us. I also learned British Sign Language.
