Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
-
Step 1
Sit your baby down at a good time of day when she is awake and alert. A high chair is a great location, and you can do this during snack time.
-
Step 2
Offer her a small bite of a yummy snack she enjoys.
-
Step 3
Wait for her to look at you or the food, and look for cues that she wants another bite (for example, trying to grab at it.)
-
Step 4
Say to your child, "you want more" and give the "more" sign, as demonstrated in the above video.
-
Step 5
Wait a few seconds to give her a chance to imitate the sign. Most likely she will not right away, which is normal. Take her hands and gently assist her in making the sign, while saying, "more."
-
Step 6
In a praising voice, tell your child, "okay, you want more!" and give her another bite.
