I wasn't into doing the nouns, but my daughter talked pretty early. The signs I did I found very, very useful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-diddo-sign-language-with-you-child#post-1339713 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 14:55:06 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1339713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't do sign language but taught DS1 to nod yes/no around 7 months and it was the most useful thing ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-diddo-sign-language-with-you-child#post-1339696 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 14:43:18 +0000 T-Mom 1339696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry is a big one one my house... My DS still uses that daily toward his big sis even though he is 2 yr and has been verbal for quite a while now, haha.</p> <p>He still does help, hurt, please, water, dog and crying too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-diddo-sign-language-with-you-child#post-1339682 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 14:33:55 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1339682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were totally utilitarian so: all done, more, water and potty! Maybe this time around I will add please too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-diddo-sign-language-with-you-child#post-1339667 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 14:22:38 +0000 tequiero21 1339667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only taught milk and more. My hubby isn't a believer in sign language. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-diddo-sign-language-with-you-child#post-1339547 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 12:55:23 +0000 matador84 1339547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MegWag: I forgot we do that one also--and frustrated!@T.H.O.U.: another one I forgot to add. </p> <p>@Cole: those are good ones. I'm thinking dirty diaper might be next on the list... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-diddo-sign-language-with-you-child#post-1339237 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 09:45:28 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1339237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would add all done and all gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-diddo-sign-language-with-you-child#post-1339129 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 08:26:59 +0000 Cole 1339129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we added a few specific ones for things they liked such as ceiling fan, bird and dog. Sit down and bathroom became really handy though as they became older toddlers. I could use those plus please and thank you to offer reminders or ask questions in a non verbal way which was great in situations like library story time when they might not be sitting right with me or to prompt them to use their manners without being intrusive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-diddo-sign-language-with-you-child#post-1339030 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 04:40:57 +0000 MegWag 1339030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We found "help" to be really useful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-diddo-sign-language-with-you-child#post-1338830 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 22:21:48 +0000 MamaCate 1338830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'd mostly did the basics: more, all done, milk, water, please, thank you, mama, dada, sorry, please, thank you. School did a lot of the teaching and we reinforced it. LO also learned all the colors in sign before she could say them, and some animals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-diddo-sign-language-with-you-child#post-1338787 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 22:04:41 +0000 Bao 1338787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have only taught A a few signs: milk, more, please...because she started sprouting off new words every day so we figured we would just focus on that. There are a few I would still like her to learn though because sometimes it's hard to understand some things that she wants, which can be frustrating for all of us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-diddo-sign-language-with-you-child#post-1338774 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 22:00:39 +0000 matador84 1338774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What signs did you introduce once they really started picking it up? In the last two months he has caught onto signs and is really connecting them well--"more drink please," "more milk please" etc. </p> <p>He knows more, milk, drink, please, mama, daddy, blueberries, love, kiss. </p>
