ABOUT

Stop guessing what your baby is trying to tell you and start spending more time fulfilling your child’s specific needs. Baby Sign Language gives parents the opportunity to communicate with children long before babies can verbalize their wants and needs. More than thirty years of evidence-based research studies show that signing with babies accelerates language acquisition, reduces frustration and aggressive behavior, and as children mature, results in a greater interest in reading. Out of all the wonderful benefits of signing with babies, the most important is that signing will greatly deepen the bond between you and your child.

Bill White is the founder of Happy Baby Signs and co-author of the internationally best selling book, Signs of a Happy Baby with Kathleen Harper.

His virtual and recorded on-demand programs are available to parents around the globe. Bill is passionate about how signing greatly helps babies connect with their parents and is the proud father of two hearing sons who both sign.
