Does Your Child Know Their Address?
This is a very important lesson to teach your children at an early
age.
Children should know their name, age, address, phone number and parents
name at as young an age as possible. I have seen several news reports recently
about lost children that were found but could not tell anyone their names or
those of their parents making it harder for authorities to find the parents of
the child.
Here are some simple tips:
1.Teach your children your
name not just mom or dad. Say " I am mommy but my name is ____"
2.Children need to know their first and last name
3.Teach them
their age
4.Cut out a construction paper house and write your address
on it and go over this with your child regularly
5. Cut out a
construction paper phone and do the same as above, with your phone number.
6. Make a song out of the information for them to learn.
