A nurse has analysed the body language of babies. Brilliant.
You can identify: hungry, thirsty, full, tired and ready to sleep.
The same applies to adults. My husband tells me I am tired and should go to bed when I yawn and stop talking. He tells me I am full and should stop eating when I slow down my eating, or rest my knife and fork on the plate at increasing intervals. Once it is pointed out, the signs are obvious.
When my productivity slows down, I know it is time for a rest, a drink of water, a change of scene.
In adults also watch for signs of dehydration and hunger. Some people get angry when tired and thirsty. Others cannot make decisions.
A person at home gets ratty not getting food or drink or attention, or kept waiting too long for supper.
In a restaurant, a customer kept waiting too long for a table, or water, or drinks, or the menu, or first course, a meal, in a restaurant, loses their temper and threatens to walk out.
Sometimes when you cannot understand language, you can read body language.
