You&#8217;ll be amazed at how much they have to say with their hands! Once they can they&#8217;ll be able to ask for\u00a0<em>milk, nappy changes<\/em>\u00a0and &#8216;talk&#8217; about the sounds they hear or animals they see, and the best bit&#8230;. you&#8217;ll be able to understand! Improving communication like this really helps reduce frustration for you both and also gives so much enjoyment.<\/p>\n<p>At our classes you&#8217;ll learn baby signing through music and song; some familiar and some original, using instruments, props and pictures. You don&#8217;t need any experience or prior knowledge of sign language to join the course and you don&#8217;t need to be able to sing! Classes are small and relaxed, friendly and supportive.<\/p>\n<p>Click here to find out more and join us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, I&#8217;m Melissa and I run Sing and Sign classes in Dorking, Leatherhead and Ashtead.
