Lala stopped trying to sound out words for awhile and she's just starting up again. It wasn't that she couldn't, she just lost interest... So weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-1#post-678755 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 07:28:29 +0000 Honeybee 678755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD seemed to know it around 2, and then she forgot! She's just now back to correctly naming left and right about 75% of the tome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-1#post-678741 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 07:05:39 +0000 Dandelion 678741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was in preschool, so about 3-4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-1#post-678740 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 07:01:09 +0000 mrs. bird 678740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a little friend that's 2.5 and uses right and left to give directions while driving and can show you right and left on their body. It gets confusing when someone is facing them &amp; then you have 'my left or your left'? more often it's in kindergarten that it develops, I like to think my little friend is super smart, like lala :) also, lala is in a Montessori school, right? I seem to remember there often being an emphasis on doing things from left to right (to lead to reading left to right), so maybe that has helped her identify left vs right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-1#post-678624 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 00:14:43 +0000 banana 678624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: My son gets his rights and lefts correctly too. I'll ask him "Should we go right or left?" and he'll point and say "right!" or "left!". He's 3 though so he's a bit older. He started doing his just this month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-1#post-678604 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 23:37:53 +0000 HLK208 678604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B was just past the age of 2 when he caught on. We taught him the hokey pokey :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-1#post-678582 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 23:10:43 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 678582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: sometimes I feel too dyslexic to even figure out which L is the right way. It's all the more confusing because in X-rays it's a mirror image... So then I'm always struggling to get it translated from X-ray to real life and back.</p> <p>Lala has been using the terms right and left correctly. Tonight we were taking a walk and she got the right direction for each turn. Maybe just perfect lucky guesses? I was super bewildered because I struggled so much with this and still remember when I learned to sort it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-1#post-678554 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 22:50:32 +0000 Arden 678554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to look down at my hands every single time and make an L shape. The one that is correct is my left, the one that's backwards is my right.<br /> I literally can't tell otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-1#post-678553 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 22:49:10 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 678553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I still take a minute myself sometimes ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-1#post-678542 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 22:38:20 +0000 immabeetoo 678542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well DH is 25 and he still struggles.. Ha! I tease him all the time about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-age-1#post-678533 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 22:33:56 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 678533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did your child learn right and left? Just wondering. </p>
