SIGN USAGE

Teach your child the waist sign when they begin to show curiosity about what their body parts are called. When they start tagging along with you to go shopping for clothes, you can also teach this sign when measuring the waistline is needed to get the right size of trousers, shorts, or dress that is fitted at the waist.
