Don’t just take my word for it. Read how others have enjoyed attending Tegn og Trall classes.

I’ve had two kids in Mel (and Mia’s) courses – that’s seven courses altogether. Mel is a fantastic person and teacher, she addresses each child/family in a personable, kind, humorous and professional way. She is passionate and compassionate – the best combined qualities one could ask for your child to be around.

Vi gikk på kurset med barn nummer to i håp om å minske frustrasjonen vi opplevde nummer en hadde da han var rundt 1 år. Han hadde veldig mye han ønsket å si til oss men få ord, så det var mye grining og peking på alt mulig rart. Vi begynte på kurset med nummer to da hun var rundt 6mnd. Fordi du lærer sanger som fungerer i
hverdagen sang vi mye av disse hjemme og brukte tegn litt innimellom ellers. Da hun var rundt 11mnd gammel viste hun sitt første tegn (melk). Etter hvert brukte hun mer og mer tegn for vann, smokk, sove osv. Vi oppdaget også at vår da 3åring hadde plukket opp mange tegn og kunne også kommunisere med lillesøster.

Oliver has down syndrome so his speech therapist really recommended we start using sign language with him as soon as possible… but I didn’t know anything about sign language and where to start. I got some books but that didn’t really motivate me to learn.

Finding a course where I could learn the signs in an easy and fun way while socializing really made a difference for me. It stopped feeling like an obligation and became more like a game.

I did two courses with Mel and must say that this was by far the best spent money on baby activities! Mel is incredibly warm and welcoming, creating such a wonderful atmosphere in her classes. My daughter absolutely loved the classes and we still sing some of the songs even though she is 4 years old already! 

Johanna

Mel er omsorgsfullt tilstede for alle barna på kurset og lar de være akkurat der de er. 

Jorid

Of all of the baby courses offered, Tegn og Trall was the best course I did with my baby. Most importantly for me, my son absolutely loved it, but it also made communication with him so much easier before he developed many words.

Kristin

Mel’s adaptions of songs are all fantastic and make signing so easy to learn. 

Kate

Mels songs, through which we learn a lot of the signs, are fine tuned and tweaked to weave themselves seamlessly into your everyday lives – from a Good Morning song, to getting dressed, to going out to play, to potty time, washing up and bed time (and many more themed songs – weather, seasons, holidays, animals – you name it!).

Mel’s classes are a wonderful resource for parents and children. Rarely have I met anyone who seems so genuinely enthusiastic about her work and truly interested in her ‘pupils’. I cannot recommend Mel and Mia’s Tegn og Trall courses highly enough! 

Anja

Både jeg og lillemor elsket kurset. Det var rett og slett ukas høydepunkt store deler av permisjonstiden. Av aktivitetene vi valgte å bruke penger på i permisjonstiden var Tegn og Trall helt definitivt det vi satte aller mest pris på. Verdt hver eneste krone 🙂 

Grethe

Kurset var uhøytidelig og godt tilrettelagt for de små og foreldre. Jeg følte meg sett og var glad for at det var et opplegg som faktisk fenget barna, og lot de få være utforskende og kravlende mens man hold på. Fengende, kjente melodier. Som jeg ble nynnende og syngende på mye ellers også. 

Susanne

Babysigning helped us understand each other at a much better level before she learned to speak. It saved us a lot of frustration when she could sign simple things that she was feeling like “hungry”, “thirsty” or “tired” or she could sign “bird” or “car” or other things she saw instead of just pointing and me guessing what she
saw. It was really impressive!

Johanna

Mel er en engasjert og professonell lærer, som gir 100% på hver time og er kjempe tålmodig! Kurset hennes var et trygt og hyggelig sted å være i – akkurat noe
man trenger som en nybakt mamma 🙂

Elena

Signing helped us ease frustrations, stop the guessing game of wondering what the child needs (food, water, a toy, hot/cold). It has helped lower over all stress levels since we could communicate with our pre-verbal baby.

Kyrre

We are truly at awe on a daily basis; signs that we didn’t know our daughter remembered suddenly appear, she lets us know what she sees or where she wants to go and even who she wants to talk to. Tegn og Trall has truly been the highlight of our week. And there has been no better way to spend our time (or money) than on these courses, the payback is just so much more than you imagine.

Vi har to barn og jeg gikk på Tegn og Trall-kurs i begge mine pappapermisjoner. Jeg deltok på flere forskjellige babysang-aktiviteter, men Tegn og trall var den beste. Det var både gøy og nyttig. Vi lagde bl.a. egne tegn for mange familiemedlemmer og venner, og begge barna brukte disse tegnene hyppig i 1-2 årsalderen. 

Per

It was a joy to sit with my daughter and the other parents and babies in Mel’s well-equipped and cozy room,cand watch as the children were completely transfixed by Mel’s glowingly cheerful demeanor, fun songs, signs, and excellent kazoo playing! 

Anja

Despite our son showing zero interest at the time he must have been taking it all in, because 4 months on, his signing just exploded, and now at 18 months, he has become a real chatterbox (with his hands).

Nick

Jeg er overbevisst over at babytegn hjalp min datter med å få ganske stort ordforråd veldig tidlig, som har utviklet hennes evne til å snakke tidligere enn gjevnaldrende barn og med fulle setninger. Dette har uten tvil bidratt til hennes mentale utvikling. Hun er i tillegg et tre-språklig barn med gode snakkeferdigheter og forståelse i alle tre språk.

Jeg er 100% overbevisst om at Tegn og Trall kurset var den beste starten på utviklingen av Alisas språkferdiheter og ikke minst den sosiale kompetansen!

Vi er dypt takknemlige til Mel og hennes kurs for det og anbefaler det på det sterkeste til alle våres venner som får barn.
