    Parenting trick: invent a gesture that means "I love you." 2 yos like it as a game. 8 yos like it because they can use it in public.

        (How nice it would be if even one parent did this because of this tweet. And yet that is not unlikely. Happy thought.)

        @paulg Thank you. This morning my 4 year old son Elliot signed "I love you" to me across the room. Made my heart melt.

        Mine is an awful imitation of a baseball coach: Look real serious, tug your ear lobe twice, tap your nose, tug your ear again. I love you.

        I was a disability support worker with a child with autism, we used sign language to communicate those types of things :)

        We do 3 squeezes for "I love you" - then it expands to include 3 taps, 3 knocks etc. Can be pretty subtle if needed :) – at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT)

        My family and I use tactile sign language for this. It’s a wonderful source of comfort for the kids.
