[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My second DD was absolutely exactly like this!  Around ten months, I realized that she was “better behaved” with our nanny than with me.  I didn’t think they understood at that age but she’s flip on the changing table with me but never with nanny; she would cry for me to hold her constantly but would crawl around and play with nanny.  When I asked nanny how she did it, she just said she told DD!!! “No turning on the changing table.”, “I can’t hold you now so you’re going to have to play”.

Surprising. [/quote]

I am a PP with a similar child and I agree with this. Teaching sign language helps, but people really underestimate how much language even very young babies understand -- I think they figure a lot out by context cues like expressions and tone of voice, too. My child like this is now extremely verbal (she's 4) and unusually articulate for her age, and I think it's partly because we talked to her a lot as a baby to help her understand the world around her, because she was so sensitive and needed so much attention.[/quote]
