Thanks for sharing the Quiet Hand! That sounds like another great option for people to choose from. Glad it worked for you.

We used a similar approach, which worked well even when our daughter learned to talk. It was called The Quiet Hand. Simply put, we taught our daughter to put her hand on her Mom or Dad’s arm or leg when she wanted our attention. We would acknowledge her by touching her hand, or just nodding at her. That let her know that we were aware she wanted something without saying a word. We made sure to actually follow through on finding out what she wanted once we were available. If we were not going to be free for a while we would tell her so. It seemed to make her much more willing to wait quietly, and we never had the problem seen all too often, of the whiny kid trying to get a parent’s attention.
