Hi Kieran, is he defiantly trying to tell you something? he could be doing it as a coping mechanism

Hi @kieran1411, how are you doing?

Hello Kieran, I would do a really thorough observation using the ABC method - A = antecedent, B = behaviour & C = consequence. In short, what happens before, during and after your little one has done their sign. You will then get an idea of what they are trying to tell you. Let us know how you're getting on.
