Again

To sign again, flatten out your leading hand, bend your second hand at a right angle, then tap it against the middle of the palm of your first hand.

Again and more are both often simplified to thumping hands together , and they often blur into one, given their similar meaning.

SIGN USAGE

Again is so similar to more in meaning, that again is not often taught until a baby is more advanced. I will often not teach more and just use it' for the same purpose. If I teach again, then I will tend to make it about experiences - and I will let more be about food. So sign again after the first wave of a tickle attack, before the second wave strikes. "Want to be tickled again?" "Mommy is tickling Baby again."

RELATED SIGNS

Flash Card

Teach your baby how to sign again for experiences, like being pushed on a swing or being tickled. Teach the related concept, more, when asking if your baby wants more food or drink.

    I am a retired grandma and I am blessed to babysit for my next door neighbors who just had a precious baby boy. He is three months old today. I found your signing very helpful. I learned 5 words today and will use these signs when I care for the baby. I am using the signs now so when he is a few months older he will be able to use them as well. Your site is basic, simply, and you repeat the motion of sign and word a few times. I cannot wait to share these new signs with his mommy and Hayden (the baby). Thank you!

    As an Early Interventionist I learned basic signs that I used with the families I worked with. Now as a parent of a 11 month old, I started signing with her at 6 months. She can now sign “all done, more, eat, shoes, drink, bye-bye” she loves to use them knowing that her mommy, daddy, and brother can understand her.

    My youngest is 5 1/2 months old- I started Baby Sign Language with her at 3 1/2 months of age. She watches very closely though she has yet to make a sign. My older daughter is now 5 1/2 and I took her to baby signs class when she was 5 1/2 months old and within a couple of months she was using many of the signs and she was talking fluently before she was a year old. I’m hoping that the same goes true with my baby. Baby Sign language is awesome!
