Signing Smart & Research
A National Research Study has shown that using sign language with hearing babies and toddlers allows communication and spoken language to happen earlier and faster, while reducing frustration and tantrums. Most children have 2-3 words by 12 months, whereas, Signing Smart children typically have: 5 signs and 1 word by 8 months! and 25 signs and 16 words by 12 months! Most children start combining words into 2 word sentences by 20 months, whereas Signing Smart children typically do this by 11-14 months and some as early as 6 months (including Miss Tracey's)!

Are You Ready to be a Parent? New babies are such a blessing, but they can also bring with them sleepless nights, crying, and sometimes quite a bit of stress. Come learn an extraordinary approach to keeping your baby happy. In our Happiest Baby Class new parents will learn step-by-step how to help their baby sleep better and how to soothe even the fussiest baby in minutes…even seconds. Magic? A miracle? No, it’s a reflex!™ Our class is based on the highly effective, new approach to babies pioneering by Dr. Harvey Karp in his best-selling book and DVD. Parents will learn: why the idea that colic is due to gas pains is mostly an old wives tale, why keeping the house quiet may actually be upsetting to many newborns, why most babies get more upset in the evening, why it’s impossible to spoil young babies, a easy way to help infants sleep a few hours more a night, and why fathers are often the BEST calmers in the family.

Mothers Circle members are not Viacord employees. They are simply Moms who chose to preserve their child's cord blood with Viacord and have agreed to share their reasons with expectant parents and grandparents. Mothers Circle Moms can also offer an exclusive $100 Savings on Viacord enrollments. We can also help you learn about Viacord's NEW Gift Registry. Eighteen years ago, cord blood stem cells helped treat one disease. The probability of being diagnosed with that disease was 1:333,000 in 1988. Today cord blood stem cells are used to treat over 40 diseases. The probability of being diagnosed with one of these 40 diseases is 1 and 27 and maybe soon 1 in 2. Current research is demonstrating that cord blood noncontroversial stem cells may one day treat stroke and heart disease. Should cord blood stem cells prove successful in treating just one of these diseases the odds increase dramatically. A breakthrough in stem cell treatment for heart disease would increase the odds to 1:2!
