So many tantrums averted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-sign-have-you-found-most-useful#post-1769855 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 10:08:02 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1769855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More, all done, and milk &lt;&lt; can't decide. </p> <p>Help sounds like a good one. I should teach him that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-sign-have-you-found-most-useful#post-1769787 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 08:28:46 +0000 Jess1483 1769787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is a late talker (only about 6 words at nearly 20 months). He CAN talk (if you catch him off-guard, he's said things like grandma and pizza and a whole bunch of other words), but talking seems to embarrass him. So signing has been a lifesaver. He uses about 40 signs. I think "shoes" (which he signs when he wants to go outside), and help, more, and music are his most helpful. And milk. And book. Gosh, without words, they are all really helpful and have stopped a number of tantrums. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-sign-have-you-found-most-useful#post-1769772 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 07:53:59 +0000 Boheme 1769772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've really been working on "all done" for the reason @Mrs. Lion: described. DS flings his food and cups when he's finished, and has cracked and ruined about $20-30 in straw cups. I hope it will curb the issue! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-sign-have-you-found-most-useful#post-1769769 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 07:51:09 +0000 Smurfette 1769769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More but that is the only one she does. She knows others but everything is more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-sign-have-you-found-most-useful#post-1769701 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 05:45:12 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1769701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More and all done are really helpful. So is 'eat'- but she will sign that all the time! Girlfriend loves her snacks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-sign-have-you-found-most-useful#post-1769598 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 22:44:08 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1769598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never signed but, now that he talks, saying "more" "no more" and "up" have been lifesavers. So, I'd imagine that if he did know how to sign before he could speak, those would've probably been the best phrases for us to have taught him. Maybe baby #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-sign-have-you-found-most-useful#post-1769572 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 22:07:04 +0000 Bao 1769572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think more was most helpful to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-sign-have-you-found-most-useful#post-1769570 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 22:03:36 +0000 matador84 1769570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Help and/or frustrated. But...all done and more have been very frequently used/helpful as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-sign-have-you-found-most-useful#post-1769565 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 21:49:16 +0000 irene 1769565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"More" and "all done"<br /> I don't even know how "help" looks like actually, and that would have been helpful :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-sign-have-you-found-most-useful#post-1769542 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 21:07:49 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1769542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Help and All Done are the only 2 we use, and they help a lot. LO was flinging his food off of his tray and we discovered that it was his way of telling us he was finished. We taught him the sign and after about a week he stopped flinging food (hurray!). Help is good because LO will get himself into pretty dangerous circumstances trying to do things by himself...if I ask him if he needs help he stops in his tracks and does the sign, which prevents him from being frustrated by what he can't do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-sign-have-you-found-most-useful#post-1769536 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 21:02:18 +0000 Corduroy 1769536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO signs, what sign have you found most useful?</p> <p>My current favorite is "help". It has really helped to diffuse some frustration pre-tantrum. </p>
