[quote=Anonymous]I encourage them to use whatever name the parent prefers. A lot of parents feel weird being called "Mr. Smith" these days. I personally prefer for kids to call me by my first name, and that starts when they are little. I actually find "Mr. First name" the weirdest construction because I mostly associate it with daycare/preschool teachers, and I think it sounds weird coming from older kids to use with adults who are not preschool teachers. So if a parent prefers "Mr. Last name" I tell my kid to use that and will reinforce it by using it myself.[/quote]
