Hand Shape: bent “L” shape with both hands, index finger of right hand hooked on thumb of left hand
Location: at chest level
Tip: as if the fingers of one hand are running after the other
Action: move hands forward quickly while wiggling index finger
Video transcript: This weeks word is “Run’. R-U-N. Run. This is done with taking your “L” hands, bent fingers, then attach your dominant hand into your less dominant thumb and move forward a little bit while you wiggle the finger, for run. Now if you’re working with children and this is a little to advance for their coordination of their movement with their hands, use the other run sign which would to be take your fist and act like your running this way. Both would be acceptable in sign language.

Being a new mom does not mean you have to stay in your pregnancy clothes for months on end. You can reclaim your pre-pregnancy body, become healthier and still be with your baby while doing so!
