Hold your non-dominant hand in front of you with the index finger pointing up, representing an object or person. Form a bent 'V' handshape with your dominant hand to represent a pair of legs. Swing your dominant hand forward so that the back of your fingers strikes the side of your non-dominant index finger, mimicking the physical action of kicking.
Sign 'baby,' then use the 'kicking' sign. You can repeat the kicking motion a few times to show that the action is ongoing and continuous.
Sign 'he,' then 'ball,' and finish with the sign for 'kicking.' Make the kicking motion strong and deliberate to emphasize the action of striking the ball.
Sign 'stop,' then 'kicking,' followed by 'my chair.' Use a firm, serious facial expression to clearly convey your annoyance and set a boundary.

No, this sign is literal and represents physically kicking an object with your legs. To express 'kicking a habit,' you would use signs related to 'stopping,' 'quitting,' or 'giving up' something.
Yes, you should use your dominant hand for the active movement (the legs kicking) and your non-dominant hand as the stationary object being kicked. This follows the standard ASL rule for dominant hand movement.
To show continuous or repeated kicking, simply repeat the forward striking motion of your dominant hand against your non-dominant finger several times in a row.
