To sign alone, hold your dominant hand in a fist, with only its index finger sticking out. Twist it in the air and have it end up standing upright, like a candle in a stick.
Teach your child the alone sign in the context of a character in a story you read in a book or see on television or film, or if you are talking about someone who is alone in a given situation.
Teach your toddler that as he gets older, it is normal for him to develop his autonomy and be able to do certain things alone, like brushing his teeth, combing his hair, getting dressed, and so on.
