Sign Language for Babies

2012-03-25T12:08:00.000-07:00

Baby sign language is a great way to help you communicate with your pre-verbal baby. Baby sign language helps babies that are ready to communicate, but can’t quite bridge the gap to full speech. Imagine how your life would change if your baby could tell you when she wanted milk, when she was too hot, or if she just wanted to show you something you missed like a flower!
Baby sign language has numerous benefits. Most importantly, signing is a lot of fun and helps you bond with your child. Babies that sign are often less fussy because the baby can tell you what she wants instead of crying. Research also shows that babies that utilize sign language get a great start in life – with increased vocabularies and more advanced cognitive skills, even years after they have stopped signing.

Getting started

Getting started with baby sign language is simple, first take a quick look at the basics of baby sign language. Then learn a few signs from the baby sign language dictionary and start using them in your daily routine. You only need a few to get started, so consider starting with our list of the top ten baby signs. Once your baby begins to sign back, ensure you give them lots of encouragement. Once the initial signs are mastered, you can expand their baby sign language vocabulary. As your baby gets more advanced you can print out the baby sign language flash cards and start to teach your child more advanced words or phrases.

What are you waiting for … lets get started.

Your baby is crying and you don't know why! If only he could tell you what was wrong..

Signing is something that I have always wanted to learn...I find it so fascinating! I have 2 and 4 yr old (boys) that are really showing interest in learning as well. My four year old watched some of these videos with me after I downloaded them and he is already showing everyone what he has learned!!! Now my four year old is asking to watch the videos and practice every night!! I love this! I thank you for your help and this wonderful opportunity! God bless!

Jennifer Kotzbauer Erlanger, Ky

When my niece was about 10 months old she would get very frustrated and yell and cry a lot. I taught her how to sign 3 signs "please" "more” and "eat". She stopped yelling and throwing tantrums in a matter of 20 minutes!

Chocolate against child diabetes.
How is this possible?
Sounds Unbelievable But It's True

“Read The Latest Research”

Chocolate Can Help Against Child Diabetes

A number of recent studies have shown that eating chocolate has a positive influence on human health due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This includes reducing blood pressure and improving insulin sensitivity (a stage in the development of diabetes).
"Research Findings on Chocolate consumption and cardiometabolic disorders: systematic review and meta-analysi"
The findings were presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Paris on Monday 29 August 2011 by Dr Oscar H Franco, Department of Public Heath and Primary Care, University of Cambridge, UK

Before I go any further have a look at the sort of
delicious chocolaty treats I am referring to…


Swamp Mud with Frog Slime	Choco Coated Banana Bites

Are you feeling sad, angry and fed-up with your child’s diabetes?

Are you quietly devastated at having to say “no” constantly to your child when they want those delicious chocolate foods they love and it’s wearing you down?

If you feel like this, imagine your child?

Can you blame them for feeling depressed, anxious or overwhelmed by their diabetes?

Are you dismayed that your child has been given a life-long sentence forbidding all those yummy cakes, pastries and sweet treats that made life fun?

And what about the rest of your children and the family – do they all have to give up all those yummy foods to support your child?

Wow! It’s no wonder you are feeling overwhelmed!

Take heart!

It does not have to be this way. I am giving you a solution to your woes and it comes in the form of delicious low GI, child diabetic friendly chocolate.

Here are a couple of more of the my kid tested, mouth-watering recipes…

“Oh No!”

I can hear you say… “Stop torturing me”

Are you, like lots of other parents of diabetic children around the world, finding it hard to say “no” to sweet, sugary chocolate treats that your child constantly asks for, especially when he sees all the yummy foods his friends and family eat.

“Please, please mummy – just this once!”

Does that sound familiar?

I know how heart wrenching this can be. You feel torn. We all want a happy child but more importantly you want a healthy child. So once again you say no and feel terrible!

Well no more!

I have the solution and it comes in the form of delicious, healthy diabetic-friendly chocolate. No boring food here – all these recipes have been kid tested to make them fun and they will be gobbled up.

Before I go on let me introduce myself…

Pamela is the author of international selling eBook “Chocolate Against Diabetes”

My name is Pamela Vinten and this is my story...

I am a retired Home Economics teacher living on the Gold Coast, Australia. Having studied in Melbourne, I majored in nutrition, food science and biochemistry.

I have maintained a keen interest in nutritional trends for over 40 years and am constantly on the lookout for healthier food options. This was very important to me when I was raising my five children and dealing with the obstacles we all experience while trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

This book is the result of the anguish I have felt over the years as I have watched, and (to be truthful) indulged in, the eating of very damaging sweet, chocolaty foods. Let’s face it, who can resist! I am proud to offer you a solution and it comes in the form of my deliciously smooth chocolate that is not only amazingly healthy but diabetic friendly as well. Enjoy!

Don’t just believe me when I say these deliciously tempting treats are all diabetic friendly. Read the glowing report Angela Counsel, Naturopath and Nutritionist, wrote after reading my book…

Angela Counsel

As a Naturopath I often see clients who have diabetes or metabolic syndrome and who are struggling to give up the sweet things in their life. This book provides a solution for them so that they don’t feel like they are feeling left out.
Processed carbohydrates are a real problem in our diet but many people don’t realise the danger that it actually poses to their health. This book is well researched and provides a very good overview of the causes of metabolic syndrome and diabetes type 2.
Angela Counsel (B HSc Comp Med; Adv Dip Nat; Dip Nut) Naturopath and Nutritionist The Ambaa Tree Natural Health Centre Frenchs Forest, Sydney, NSW

Here is the truth!

How about a chocolate that is not only low on the glycemic
index (GI) but is also incredibly healthy?

I know it’s hard to believe so before I go any further let me give you some cold hard facts about normal chocolate…

When you think of chocolate what springs to mind is store-bought processed chocolate
Very early on in its production when it was still a bean it was once a powerhouse of nutrition and had a very low GI (glycemic index)
During processing it has been heat treated many times then had “bad” fats, sugar and many chemical additives added
The end result is an empty, sugar laden, unhealthy food not very suitable if you have diabetes except in very small portions – and we all know how hard it is to stick to the “small portions” rule when it comes to chocolate!

What a shame to destroy such a healthy food through processing, sweetening and putting in additives!

Now the Good News…

Have you ever seen a picture of natural chocolate beans – they are actually called cacao (ka-cow) beans. This is what they look like in their natural state:

Cacao Tree

Open Cacao Pod

Cacao Beans

The truth is that my chocolate is not heat processed so it is still brimming with enzymes, vitamins and nutrition. No sugar or bad fats are added and there are no hidden chemical additives to wreak havoc in your body.
This chocolate has been called “the food of the gods” because it retains all the goodness from when it was picked to when you eat it
If my chocolate has no added sugar then how can it be sweet? Easy! All my recipes use either:

Stevia, a natural sweetener with no calories and a GI value of ZERO and is up to 400 times sweeter than sugar
Maple syrup, a low GI, natural sweetener that has many beneficial properties for diabetes suffers

Amazingly, all my chocolate recipes are low GI, child diabetic
friendly and still classified as a “super food”!

That was a lot to read and digest so how
about something easy on the eyes!

Check out these amazing pictures of some of my everyday kid’s recipes that all use my healthy chocolate and can safely have a definite place in their diabetic diet.

Don’t they look delicious!

How About These Treats For Those Fussy Little Eaters!

Refusing to eat can make meal and snack times a battle ground for parents of little children in the “terrible two’s” phase where their favourite word seems to be “NO!” It is too dangerous to give in and leave your child to eat what and when they feel like it. This is especially so if he has had insulin before the meal. Change tactics and offer food that is fun, delicious and secretly healthy. This distraction works wonders.


Edible Play Dough	Lady Bugs

Just imagine seeing your creative littlies making edible play dough
animals and then dunking them in chocolate?

Watch these cute lady bugs being gobbled up. No tantrums here!

What a bonus!

What about the older kids?…

Older kids can concoct an awesome

Chocolate Banana Splitor
Chocolate Banana Smoothie

What a great way to fill a teenage boy’s hollow legs!

They are all healthy and nutritious with no junk food in sight.

I can see all the Mums & Dads sighing in relief
– and lining up for one too!

Watch out for the neighbour’s kids – they’ll also be in for one and before you know it your child (and his diabetes) will be accepted throughout the neighbourhood.

I helped my friend Karen’s kids make Choc Coated Banana Bites. You can see by their faces they had a ball. Here are their comments…

Tate & Zoe

Tate who is 12 loved the way the chocolate set hard on the frozen banana. “It was like having a chocolate coated ice-cream, it was yummy, fantastic and tastes as good as normal chocolate”.
Zoe who is 10 wants to have these treats every-day after school as they are “The best in the world”. The chocolate coated bananas were fun and easy to make, perfect on a hot day. Zoe’s favourite description was chocolish.
Mum Karen said “They can have as many as they want because I know they are having a healthy natural chocolate treat. It makes me feel good as a parent knowing that I can give the kids Pam’s healthy chocolate and they are not going to have a sugar overload. These would also make the perfect kid’s party food activity, besides banana I could also freeze strawberries and pineapple pieces and they could all be dipped into the natural chocolate and get that same hard chocolate coating. I love it! It is “Fuss Free” and no cooking. This was one of the few times that I have seen my son Tate taking an interest and active part in the kitchen. He just loved that he could eat as many of these Choc Coated Banana Bites and I didn’t mind. In fact I think he ate 5″.

What About Kids Birthday Parties?

These can be a nightmare for parents of diabetic children. Their friends will be expecting the usual sweet junk food and you don’t want your child to feel different.

How about a delicious diabetic-friendly birthday
cake to set your mind at ease?

Nobody will know the difference!


Princess Ice-cream Birthday Cake	Treasure Map Ice-cream Birthday Cake

Easter can especially be a problem for diabetic kids!

We all like giving and receiving chocolate Easter Eggs but for diabetic kids too many are a definite a NO NO! Type 2 diabetes is on the increase in children due to a world-wide epidemic of childhood obesity. Now you don’t have to give the kids any more of those sugar laden chocolate Easter treats. Try these healthy alternatives on the kids. They will thank you for it.

I can just hear you saying…

“I don’t think it’s possible for chocolate to be that healthy,

diabetic- friendly and still taste delicious.”

Okay…

Don’t take my word for it. Read what one self confessed chocoholic had to say after tasting it…

Andrew Grant

No Way That’s Good For You!
I am a chocoholic! I love chocolate but I am also very picky and fussy when it comes to what chocolate I eat. I was really pleasantly surprised at just how good your guilt free chocolate tastes and feels in my mouth. I eat lots of chocolate so I was very sceptical that you could create a healthy chocolate that tastes great – but you did it! Eating the slice was a yummy pleasure. No way that’s good for you. It tastes too good! The only bad thing was I needed more samples!
…Andrew Grant, Gold Coast, Australia

I have used my research, findings, background and knowledge in nutrition to write this book titled…

“Amazing Chocolate For Child Diabetes”

Why? …

Healthy living has long been a passion of mine and this eBook is in response to my anguish at seeing the widespread consumption of very unhealthy snack foods especially chocolate treats by children
Research has shown that child diabetes is fast becoming a worldwide epidemic largely due to our poor life-style choices. Once type 2 diabetes was only seen in adults but now due to the childhood obesity epidemic it is being seen in younger and younger children. Poor diet and sugar consumption are no doubt some of the main offenders
There is a wide spread lack of knowledge around what natural foods to eat to avoid diabetes and other metabolic imbalances in a world that does not support health and nutrition
To give you the latest findings and make informed decisions
A deliciously healthy diabetic kid friendly alternative to the chocolate treats they loved

These are some of the comments that I have received from
people who have enjoyed my natural, healthy,diabetic-friendly
chocolate treats and deserts

I Was At My Wits End
When my daughter, Lisa, aged 5, was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes I was too petrified to bring her home from hospital. I was overwhelmed by the responsibility of managing her condition and the consequences if I failed. I was dreading banning the foods she loved and was at my wits end. Thank goodness a friend recommended Pamela’s book and I have worked out a diet plan that suits both her and her condition. As any little girl would she loves the Princess Birthday cake and has “ordered” one for her birthday next month!

Dear Concerned Parent and Friend,

Are you contemplating divorce or separation but are unsure about how child custody will be determined or what you can likely expect from attorneys, the family court system, and/or a judge? Is it possible that your ex will falsely accuse you of child abuse, falsely accuse you of domestic violence, intentionally involve Child Protective Services or CPS without good cause, frustrate your contact with your child, relocate or move-away with your child, or coach your child in order to alienate you from your child to gain the upper hand in the family court?

"A practical, up-to-date resource for divorced parents who want to remain actively involved in their children's lives. Fathers and daughters will inevitably benefit from Mr. Carlson's clear headed, insightful guidebook."

Linda Nielsen, Ph.D., Professor of Women's Studies and Adolescent Psychology at Wake Forest University, President of American Coalition for Fathers & Children (ACFC), Doctorate in Educational and Adolescent Psychology, Counselor, Published Author

Are you uncertain how to properly interview and utilize an attorney such as how to ask the right questions to know you are hiring the right attorney for your child custody case? Do you feel like your attorney is not keeping you informed and withholding important information from you? Is it possible your attorney cares more about billing you than winning your case for you? Have you had a bad experience previously with an attorney or feel your attorney is trying to sell you a bill of good and/or inflate your bill?

"This is a very well written and well organized primer for parents dealing with a contested child custody case. The book should provide parents with the information they need to become familiar with the entire process and to make informed choices as they progress through their case."

Amy J. L. Baker, Ph.D., Researcher, Published Author, PAS Expert
Ph.D. in developmental psychology from Teachers College of Columbia University, Director of Research, 45+ Peer-Reviewed Publications

	"I didn't know how valuable your services would prove to be for me not only emotionally but also in helping me turn my case around. I am now enjoying 50% custody of my daughter on an every other week basis." Eric - Los Angeles, California

There are some things you must do to help you determine where you stand and what you can likely expect in the family court with respect to child custody and visitation such as: How to prepare and how to plan your child custody case. How to determine which path will likely get you the best custodial arrangement and which will not. When to negotiate settlements out of court and when to proceed to trial. What factors the judges tend to look for. These are all things you can do and learn on your own.


	"I can't tell you enough how a phone call by a person that isn't a Lawyer can help so much. If I ever have any friends in my position, and I hope I don't Steven is the one I will put them in touch with, even before an Attorney." Richard Smith - Lorain County, Ohio

The information is helpful to grandparents concerned about their children or grandchildren, stepparents, family, friends, and parents dealing with child custody issues. These child custody strategies can help you win or defend child custody and are applicable in all 50 states.

Avoid Costly Mistakes

Parents who rely solely on their attorney to come through for them on his/her child custody matter will often end up extremely disappointed. Attorneys generally have numerous cases at a time and their primary interest is often to make money. To make money and pay the overhead that is often associated with a law firm it requires numerous client retainers and regular billing. Attorneys can unnecessarily drag out cases or lead their clients down a lengthy path only to end up absolutely nowhere and in some cases custody can even be put at risk and in some cases lost. Do not let this be you! Attorneys are simply a "hired gun," or a tool, and must be used properly in order to be effective for your case. Learn how to use your attorney or you may be a victim of them using you!

Several years after the fact, once I got back on my feet, I decided to initiate post-judgment action against my ex-wife, to essentially get my kids back.

Choosing appropriate child care for your infant or young child can seem as overwhelming as helping your teenager select a college or university. As a parent, it is your responsibility to ensure that your child is safe and happy in a child care environment that is fun, educational, and nurturing. Here are some tips for making such an important decision.

Your Child and Family

About 70% of parents place their young children in some type of daily care. Whether you choose in-home or center-based care, a preschool, or someone else's home for your child's daily care setting, you should follow some specific guidelines to ensure receiving quality, professional care.
Most important is to know your own child's temperament, likes and dislikes, health, interests, and behavior. For a baby under 1 year old, give careful attention to your child's need to be nurtured and held, any special health needs, and the type of person you want to care for your child during the first year of life. For an older child, developing play and learning styles, interaction with other kids, intellectual curiosity, and need for individualized attention should be considered.
The family's own values and emotional needs also come into play. Some parents are overly anxious about leaving their very young child with one person, while others prefer this individual care. But by age 3 or 4, it's good for kids to have at least some exposure to other kids and participate in a structured program like preschool or daycare.
Before choosing a care setting, you should be aware of the options available and consider cost, location, and reputation.

What to Look for

Make a list of qualities you're looking for in a caregiver or day care, such as experience, religious background, discipline beliefs, and flexibility. The International Nanny Association (INA) recommends that you interview any prospective hire at least twice and that you conduct a criminal background check, which is usually done by most placement agencies.
Besides inquiring about training in early childhood development, ask a potential nanny or au pair:

Why are you interested in working with young children?
Why did you leave your last job? (You should always check references; ask that family why the relationship ended and whether they would recommend that caregiver.)
What is your discipline policy? (Offer "what if" scenarios. For example, if a child hits another child or throws a tantrum over a toy someone else is playing with, what should the consequences be?)
How will you provide new experiences to enhance my child's mental and physical development? What opportunities can you offer to experience art, music, group and individual play, and indoor and outdoor play?
How would you handle toilet teaching?
How would you handle separation anxiety?

If you're considering a day care center or other group setting, spend some time observing the center and talking to parents with kids there. Ask these questions in addition to those above:

Do you have an open-door policy on parent visits?
What are alternative arrangements for care if the program closes? On what holidays is the center closed?
What is your policy on caring for sick children?
How do you monitor kids on the playground? How old is the equipment and has it recently been inspected?
How are kids grouped? By age?
Do you welcome children of varying ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds to the program? Do you include kids with special needs?
What are the educational backgrounds of the teachers?

In evaluating the responses to your questions, carefully consider how the philosophy of child rearing, discipline, and nurturing meshes with your personal vision of how your child should be guided and cared for each day.
Finally, do you have a sense of trust in this person or program? Do you believe that your child will be happy and have the opportunity to learn and grow in this environment?
If none of the candidates meet your expectations, don't settle for best of the worst. Instead, review your job requirements, begin your search again, and consider asking neighborhood parents or coworkers for recommendations.

In-Home Care

Some parents prefer the one-on-one contact an in-home care provider can offer, especially for an infant. Parents or couples with full-time careers may find that their work schedules require them to hire an in-home care provider for their child. Trying to juggle overtime, business trips, and child care demands can be impossible without live-in help. If you do need to hire a nanny or au pair, seek the services of licensed agencies with experience.
A nanny is someone who works on a live-in or live-out basis performing child care and perhaps some minimal household duties related to child care. Usually unsupervised during the day, the nanny has a workweek that is typically 40 to 60 hours. Nannies hired through agencies usually have minimal training in caring for young children.
An au pair also provides in-home care and lives with the family and cares for the child under the direct supervision of the parents. He or she often seeks work far away from home, as a kind of cultural learning experience. Au pairs often assist with light housework and work about 40 to 60 hours per week. Au pairs, who usually are young, may or may not have any child care training or experience.

The Fine Print

Once you've hired a caregiver, draw up a specific contract outlining expected duties, hours, salary, paid vacation, and sick leave; include parental obligations as part of that contract. Establish a review date within a few months to discuss how the arrangement is working and to fine-tune the agreement. Observe the caregiver's interaction with your child routinely and unexpectedly.

Warning Signs

Here are signs to look for if you suspect that your child is being mistreated:

The caregiver has lied to you or stolen from you.
He or she does not answer questions about the daily routine.
You come home to find your child unsupervised.
The caregiver does not respond to your child.
Your child becomes moody or withdrawn or has problems eating or sleeping.
Your child suddenly becomes upset when left with the caregiver.
You simply have a bad feeling about the caregiver.

Parents should be sure the nanny or au pair has the support needed to be a positive caregiver, including adequate time off and opportunities to meet other caregivers in the area. Parents should always be available by phone or pager to answer emergency calls. In other words, work together and form a partnership for your child's care.

Out-of-Home Care

Out-of-home care includes day care centers (usually affiliated with a public or private agency such as a religious organization, corporation, or community center); family day care programs held in the caregiver's home; part-time child care programs such as preschools or play groups; and publicly funded preschool programs such as Head Start. These programs usually care for kids from birth to age 5.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that one adult should have the primary responsibility for no more than one baby under 12 months of age in any care setting. Babies need positive, consistent caregivers who learn to recognize their unique cues for hunger, distress, and play. This kind of nurturing interaction contributes significantly to an infant's social and emotional growth.
For overall infant care, the AAP recommends a child to staff ratio of 3:1.

The AAP guidelines for child care are:
Age Birth-24 mos. 25-30 mos. 31-35 mos. 3 yrs. 4-5 yrs.	Child:Staff 3:1 4:1 5:1 7:1 8:1	Max. group size 6 8 10 14 16

Homes and Centers

Day care homes offer child care in the caregiver's home, often with a single adult supervising the children. Center-based care includes day care centers and preschools employing several adults to care for larger groups of children.
In either case, both the AAP and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) recommend that the home or agency be licensed and regularly inspected. Caregivers should have basic training in CPR and early childhood development. There should also be clearly written policies on sick children and discipline. Voluntary accreditation with the NAEYC or the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC) usually indicates that the center is committed to providing quality care and must participate in ongoing child development programs.
Health, safety, and hygiene must be given priority in all settings. All kids and staff members should have current immunizations; staff should have clear criminal background checks. The facility must be childproofed and all staff members should wear disposable gloves when changing diapers. Toys should be disinfected regularly and frequent hand washing should be promoted among the staff and kids to minimize the spread of infection.
You should also expect that your child will be assigned to the same caregiver to promote a sense of security and consistency. Inquire about the rate of staff resignations; low staff turnover minimizes the need for young children to repeatedly adjust to new caregivers.

Listen

At the End of the Day

After all your research, interviewing, and observing, you may need to reassure yourself that leaving your child in the care of someone else is what works best for your family.
Make the most of your time with your child. When you get home at the end of the workday, keep your time free and easy. Give yourselves and your kids time to relax and cuddle. That can be a wonderful interactive time and it reduces stress for the whole family.
It is also recommended that guilt-ridden parents use positive self-statements, such as "I am still a good mom or dad" and "My child is having wonderful experiences." Recognize the advantages of quality child care — kids are developing relationships with other kids and learning give and take.
Daily reports about the child's day and frequent onsite visits can help you to track progress and reassure you that your child is being nurtured and having fun.
Just as you need to feel confident in the caregivers, kids need time to adjust. Young infants up to 7 months old generally adapt quickly to caring adults; older infants may suffer from "stranger anxiety" and need extra time and parental reassurance. Many toddlers and preschoolers go through adjustment periods involving tears, pouting, and tantrums as they settle in. Visits with you, favorite objects (a familiar blanket or teddy bear, for example) in the child's backpack, and the reassurance that you will return at the end of the day can help the adjustment.
However, if your child is not happy and flourishing in child care, reassess the program or individual caregiver. Realize that bad days may happen from time to time; one bad day does not equal a bad day care facility or caregiver. But if problems persist, look for another arrangement as soon as possible. This will help your child boost your child's mental, physical, and social development, trust in other adults, and sense of self-worth.
