Re: Does DC know their name/address/phone number?

DD is 3.5 (almost 4) and DS is 5. They both know their full names, our home phone number and our address (down to the city and state...still working on the zip code ). We're also in the process of teaching them our cell phone numbers and both sets of their grandparents' home numbers. I think it's really important for them to know these things and the earlier they can learn them, the better!

Re: Does DC know their name/address/phone number?

For a couple of years now (DS is 7), I've been quizzing him on his phone number, address, and what to tell the 911 operators if he has to call them.

(He also knows his email address.... - he has one on the domain I own.)

Re: Does DC know their name/address/phone number?

My older son knew his first and last name defintitely by 3 and his town and Long Island. I'd say sometime when he was 4, he learned the rest. I honestly had never thought to teach it to him that young. But in PreK 4 - at the end of the year they taught them that and the teacher had told me he was one of the few that knew it all. So I'd say you are ahead of the game!

My 3 yr old on the other hand knew his name and phone number by 2ish (and how to spell both first and last name). I had no clue he knew it all until one day I went to a store and had to spell my last name and he did it for me and it was right after he turned 2!! I was in I guess he would hear me or my son do it and caught on. He just turned 3 and does know all of this info although sometimes the number on my street address needs prompting. Like sometimes I say say your address and he says his phone number or New York or Bellmore and I have to rephrase the question to get the right answer.

I am proud to say my niece knows her full name and address and phone number and she was about 20 or 21 months when she knew this :)

Re: Does DC know their name/address/phone number?

Charlie has known her full name for about 6/7 months now (she's 26m). I haven't taught her our address or phone #s yet.

Re: Does DC know their name/address/phone number?

DS is 2 1/2 - knows mommy & daddy's real names. Guess its time to start working on address/phone.

As a PSA: I saw in a magazine that they made a bead bracelet with your phone number on it insted of the childs name.

And as a : I asked DS where b/f lived - his response: By his car!!

It makes sense whenever we go to his house, his car is there so he does live by his car.

Re: Does DC know their name/address/phone number?

DS is 3.5 and knows his name, address, and phone number.

Re: Does DC know their name/address/phone number?

DS is learned his full name at around his 3rd bday, but its such a mouthful, if a policeman asked him, I don't think he'd understand what he's saying.
