I am a home daycare provider. My kids learn a parent’s phone number, mom and dad’s full name, sibling’s names, my full name, and their home town by age 3. Once they are a bit older, they learn their address. I use the M-I-C-K-E-Y. M-O-U-S-E. song. (111-222-3333) for phone numbers. I use a made up tune for addresses. 1111 street name, street name, street name. 1111 street name, my town, my state.

This is such a great reminder of how important it is to teach our children these things. It’s easy to get wrapped up in life and think it can’t happen to you, but if it does you will have wished you did these simple things. Thanks!

This is a great list! Another thing to add is to take a picture on your phone of what your kids are wearing before going out on your big adventure for the day. While you might not do this every time you go to the grocery store, it’s a good idea before heading out to a theme park or the beach – if your child gets lost you have that photo to show people while you search for them!
