Helping kids learn left from right

My 4-year old loves to navigate when I drive the family van. But he sometimes gets confused with his left and right.

So I try to help him.

I drive. My wife sits in the front passenger seat. My 4-year old sits behind me while my 2-year old sits behind my wife.

“Daddy is on the left,” I tell my 4-year old. “Mommy is always right.”

Do you have a tip or question about parenting? Let me know. I might not be able to answer it, but other parents will.

I'm loving the art work and parenting advice. I'm just beginning to get into photography myself, and find great joy in it. It's refreshing to see a dad taking such an interest in his children.
