Movie Reviews of Consumervision Talking Hands [dvd]
Movie Review: Started Early and Loved It
Summary: 5 Stars
We started watching Talking Hands when our son was an infant. We are not an ASL household but we wanted him to learn to communicate earlier than he could learn to talk. The show has always been on-demand from our cable service (in short segments). Some reviewers here have commented that the show lacks excitement and wow factor. This is true and is exactly the reason that we have continually watched it over and over again. We deliberately avoided loud and obnoxious kids shows in favor of calmer educational and musical shows. As a result, our son has always loved Talking Hands. Don't get me wrong, he is a very energetic boy - loves climbing and running - but he still takes mellow breaks to sit and study (not just watch, you can see in his eyes that he is studying) each move and word of the Talking Hands video. He even hums the theme song when it starts and stops.
Here is an example of how he has used what he learned: Our local grocery stores gives out free cookies to kids, and before our son could talk we'd ask him if he wanted to go to the store and get a cookie. He quickly learned to do the sign for cookie to signal that he wanted to go. Now he is two and is saying the words that he learned from watching Talking Hands so much. He can speak and sign most of the words on the show (he doesn't seem to get the meaning of words like "play"). Both his signs and words are imperfect, but since baby and parent alike have learned together, we understand each other very well as a result.
My (rather opinionated) advice would be to start your children early on this video and don't expose (assault) them with more exciting (ADHD inducing) alternatives. ;-) Of course every child is different, so your mileage may vary. Also you must learn the signs along with your child and use them constantly.
