[quote=Anonymous]I was kind of surprised that my 9 year old couldn't tell me the name of Connecticut Avenue. We drive on it practically every single day, and I'm sure that we've mentioned the name in passing dozens, if not hundreds, of times. But today, in the car, I decided to quiz her and ask her to name the street (we were driving northbound in NW DC on Connecticut). She didn't know. I can't remember how I learned street names, but I know my parents didn't go around teaching me the names of different streets. I think I just observed it, and at some point knew them. At what age was your child able to navigate city streets and give them names? As in, able to give simple directions explaining how to get to Child's Play from Broad Branch Market?[/quote]
