Good morning everyone! I haven’t been in here in awhile but I need help and ideas! Family members don’t have guidance for me.
My daughter is a year old since August and knows how to communicate through pointing at things. She also says “that” and “this” correctly. But what we would like her to do is start saying please, thank you, and sorry. I’m even trying to show her the sign language of it but she wants nothing to do with and just throws a fit.
It’s very frustrating please help!
We taught our daughter manners just by using them around her. If I want her to get something or do something, I say please and thank you. I apologize to her if need be too.
Keep using sign language as youre talking and demonstrating these queues. They pick up quickly, out of nowhere shell start using the signs. You have to be patient, understand they know literally nothing. They learn it all from your visual and verbal queues. Google baby sign language and they give you quick guides, we chose to introduce 1-2 new words/signs a week and tried to continue using all as we interacted with baby.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
I agree with continuing sign language. It’s a hard process but you just gotta stick with it. My son doesn’t know many words in sign language. But he knows please thank you and more. The best thing to do is when you talk to her use the signs as you do it so she can put together the signs with the meaning.
