Developed with the help of Speech and Language experts and launched in January 2001, the "Sing and Sign" programme has since taught tens of thousands of parents across the UK how to sign with their babies and encourage amazing early communication.
About
Hello.... My name is Jenette.
I have now been teaching Sing and Sign for over 7 years and absolutely love it. It makes my day when I receive a video, photo or email with a mums baby signing.
I originally started my career in the entertainment industry performing in a number of musicals and staging shows for well known cruise liners when I met my husband and settled in Kent. I think I always had a passion for signing watching the BSL performers on the side of the stage while dancing.
I now have two wonderful children and I believe much of their communication skills stem from Sing and Sign.
My daughter was extremely shy, I found the small music group and the animation of Jessie cat really helped her confidence.
From her early ability to communicate to me through sign we beat the tantrums (well mostly) and even managed to potty train incredibly early using the 'nappy' sign. My daughters love of books began from signing all the animals. It was lovely having her read to me and made our story time very special. When she began to speak the signs gradually disappeared but now she is enjoying signing again to her baby brother. They have a very close relationship and I find them having little signing conversations, I often find my eldest bringing food to her brother as he has signed 'food'. Which makes me laugh.
I can't think of a more rewarding job to combine my love of music, teaching and babies. I am really looking forward to finding out which signs your babies like and which ones you like using!
