Not much in the way of actual demonstration of technique. The great bulk seemed to be parents gushing about how wonderful their relationship with their little tykes had become since they started signing. Well and good, but I expected more actual instruction and demonstration.

I saw Joseph Garcia talking about his research in a television news magazine (20/20 or 60 minutes) while I was pregnant and went online and bought the book, video and flashcard. At, 4 months, I started signing “milk” to my baby whenever we nursed and my husband did the same with a bottle. We didn’t expect a response, but it takes no extra time, so we just started it. Now, at 9 months, she uses the milk sign when she’s hungry, and can do her own simpler version of “change” when her diaper is wet. When we respond correctly to her signs, she beams, claps her hands and giggles. It’s wonderful. The video is simple and a great reference for teaching the signs, this is particularly helpful with some of the signs which cannot be clearly described in a book, and you need to see it in motion, 3-dimensionally.
