Form both hands into flat "B" handshapes with your fingers together and thumbs tucked alongside. Hold your hands in front of your body with the palms facing down. Move both hands side to side simultaneously in a sweeping motion.
To sign this, you would use the side-to-side sweeping 'B' hands for 'behavior', followed by the signs for 'class' and 'excellent'. Make sure to use a positive facial expression to emphasize that the conduct was good.
Start by pointing to yourself for 'I', sign 'need' and 'change', then transition smoothly into the flat 'B' handshapes moving side to side for 'behavior'. A serious or determined facial expression fits well here.
Sign 'dog', then use the sweeping 'B' hands for 'behavior', and finish with the sign for 'improve'. This shows that the sign isn't just for humans; it works perfectly for animal conduct as well.

The primary difference is the handshape. The sign for 'behavior' uses flat 'B' handshapes, while the sign for 'act' or 'do' uses 'C' handshapes. Both signs share the exact same side-to-side sweeping motion in front of the body, so the handshape is the key distinguishing feature.
Your hands must move in the same direction at the same time. Imagine your hands are connected by an invisible rod. When they sweep to the left, both go left; when they sweep to the right, both go right. Moving them in opposite directions is incorrect.
Absolutely! This sign is highly versatile. While it is most commonly used to describe human conduct, it is perfectly acceptable and accurate to use it when discussing the behavior of a pet, a wild animal, or even how a machine or system is operating.
