It always amazes me how some 12-14 year olds would not be able to get home if they needed to. My youngest son is 12 and in some ways is eons beyond his peers. Here are some simple things every child should know:
Name and how to spell it
Your Name and how to spell it
Address
10 digit phone number
How to read road signs
How and Where to look for place markers
This may sound silly to some, but it's surprising the lack of common sense things kids know today.
It's amazing that some cannot even state that the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West. Every child should know how to read a map and a compass. Not the electronic versions either!
