For awhile, all women are mama, all four legged animals are dogs, etc. Just show him a picture of his mama and point to yourself and tell him your name. He'll get it as he learns to differentiate. Until what age (at the latest) would you consider it a common phase, until it becomes a real concern? [/quote] Research is somewhat conflicted on this. The upper limit seems to be at age four, although honestly, in the field, so to speak, most kids work this out between the ages of two and three, and many between the ages of 16 months and two years.
