Before we get started, here are a few tips when signing with your toddler.
First when you sign something, also say it that way they're getting auditory input as well as
visual input on what you're signing about. Also if you have an object, point to the object
and then sign it. For instance, if there's a ball you point to it and sign 'ball', so that way your
child can see the object and then the sign for that object. Also do this as a family. If the
whole entire family is learning this together, the child will be more engaged. 'Happy', 'happy',
your two hands are flat going right over your chest coming up like in a happy motion
'happy.' 'Sad', 'sad', your hands are bringing your sadness down
'sad.' 'Sleepy', 'sleepy', it's like your head is nodding off, 'sleepy'. 'Hungry',
'hungry', you have a C-shaped hand moving down your chest for hungry and if you're
really 'hungry', you just do this with emphasis, 'hungry.' 'Drink', 'drink',
it's like you're holding the cup and drinking it, 'drink'. 'Take a bath', 'take a bath',
you're just scrubbing your body down like you're taking a bath, 'take a bath'. 'Book',
'book', it's just like you're opening up the book, 'book'. 'Play',
'play', play you're using Y hands and they're bouncing around like they're playing,
'play'. 'Go to',
'go to', your index fingers are going to the place that you're going to and you can come and go
as you please. 'go to'. 'Walk' or 'walk', this is you walking this is somebody else walking, 'walk',
or 'walk'. 'Outside' or 'to go outside' this is a noun verb pair. 'Outside' moves twice and 'to go out'
moves once, outside', 'to go out. 'Home', 'home', it's a flat O going across the side of your face,
'home'. 'Clean', 'clean', think of dusting something off, 'clean'.' Want',
'want', your fingers are like bent '5's pulling in towards yourself, 'want'. 'Don't want',
'don't want', you flick your hands down because you don't want it, 'don't want'.
'Mommy' or 'mom', now when you see little kids signing this they might do
mommy or mommy as long as it's around this area they're calling you 'mommy'. 'Father',
'father', it's the '5' hand but the top of the head where the masculine part is, 'father'.
'Baby', 'baby', you're just rocking the baby, 'baby'.
'No', 'no', it's like the letter N and O put together, 'no'. 'Yes', 'yes', your hand
is representing your head nodding, 'yes'. If you're looking for more resources about baby
