Wondering.....

I seemed to have moved through Lamb’s second step, “wondering,” very quickly. Is this normal? The night my son was crying inconsolably, is when the process began. I began wondering about his abilities to communicate and my ability to understand him. This quickly made me think about the discussions I have heard about teaching babies sign language, and I immediately narrowed down my topic. Did I make a rash decision? According to Kuhlthau, people often feel uncertainty and doubt when they have finally made a decision about a topic to research, so I am glad that what I am feeling is normal.

Brooke,

That shoud be an interesting topic. I will be interested to know what you find. I found a website that has simplified steps regarding teaching infants sign language. I hope you can use the information.
