SIGN USAGE

Use fix as part of a game to teach your baby about putting things the right way up. For example, if you are looking at a postcard and it is upside down, we tell them to "fix it," meaning they need to re-orientate the photo so it is the right way up. Or we might have a figurine of a horse that is on its side, and the baby needs to learn to put it back on its feet. "Fix it" is a very basic game that you can play with young children. It is easy to play spontaneously; there are many opportunities in your day to have them play the game with everyday objects.
