🎃👻 As well as learning a few Halloween signs to help your little ones make sense of the world around them, this week at Sing and Sign West Cumbria we have been... 🎃👻

Our Babes families have been exploring "shared looking" and showing how we can start initiating conversations with our littles ones based on what they are looking at now their eye sight is developing.

Our Stage 1s have focused on "emotions" this week, such as happy, sad, angry and frightened. Being able to help your baby name their emotions and validate their feelings is a vital part of emotional development.

Our Stage 2s have been focusing on "being helpful" this week and using signing and songs to help in those tricky moments throughout the day, such as tidy up time and preparing to go out. We have also started gently introducing our toddlers to the potty this week.

Are you interested in joining us? Have you heard from some of our families how invaluable signing is to your daily routines? We still have spaces in some of our venues for the last few weeks of term, so if you want to try a week's trial drop me a message. Alternatively, book your course space here;
