I often feel overwhelmed in public or in the car when DS is unmanageable. He is stubborn and I mean STUBBORN an will demand to get his way clinging to me and crying. I think easier to deal with this at home, but not so much at a public place and especially in a car with him stuck in a car seat trying to wiggle his way out. the problem is that he would not take alternatives pushing everything away. I'll just avoid any car trips until he is used to it.
Realistically though, will the sign language for milk and talking to a 14 month old be effective or would this only work when DS is older? He is not really talking much, has some words, but I don't understand 80% he is saying.
