What's Your Name?

Parent elicits child's full name — first and last — through direct question, role-play scenario, and a stranger-introduction prompt. Distinguishes between knowing first name only (emerging) and reliably producing both names together (secure). Extension: child spells or writes first name.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

No setup needed. Works anywhere. Parent should know child's full name to validate the response, obviously — but pretend not to in turns 2 and 3.

How it works

The 3-step guide, with what to look for at each step, is for signed-in parents.
