Baby Signs
Long before your baby can talk, your baby is already capable of communicating with you through simple signs and gestures. Wouldn't it be great if your baby can “tell” you what he wants before he is able to actually say the words for DRINK, EAT, MORE or DIAPER change?
The Baby Signs® Program, developed by “Dr. Moms” Linda Acredolo and Susan Goodwyn (authors of the book BABY SIGNS: How To Talk with Your Baby Before Your Baby Can Talk), features American Sign Language (ASL) and developmentally appropriate gestures that hearing babies can learn and use to communicate before they can talk.

About Singwa Lim, Director / Certified Baby Signs® Instructor
Singwa Lim, director of Baby Signs Hong Kong, is the first to bring the Baby Signs® Program to Asia. Singwa has successfully used the Baby Signs® Program with her son, Joshua. She started signing with Joshua when he was eight months old. Joshua signed back in six weeks. At 15 months, Joshua knew over 70 signs, already spoke over 120 words, and was able to string together 2- to 3-word sentences. At 24 months, he had a spoken vocabulary of over 600 words. Joshua is now a precocious 3-year old and has been speaking in full (complex) sentences since 18 months. Singwa is now embarking on another Baby Signs® adventure with her 16-month old, Zoë, who now already has over 90 signs in her repertoire.
Singwa feels very lucky to be "doing what she loves and loving what she does" and hopes to be able to continue to make a difference through conducting Baby Signs® workshops for families and training others to be Baby Signs® instructors.
Singwa looks forward to helping you get started on your own Baby Signs® adventure and truly believes that you and your family will benefit from the Baby Signs® Program as much as her family has. You’ll discover for yourself how amazingly rewarding and enriching this can be for you and your family.
