I am a mother of three children, and I have been a daycare provider for
almost twelve years now. I always passed out a master list of names to
the parents, and suggested that they allow their child to select which
card they wanted to give to their friends, then have the parent write,
holding the child's hand, both names. Kids get a huge thrill out of
being able to "write" and it is something you are taking time out to do
with your child that shows consideration for someone else. Another way
to do it when you don't have a master list of names is to allow your
child to "write" the name of the other children while you sign each
card with your child's name. Is it possible for you to organize a
master sign-up list for all of the parents?
Developmentally, it is a great idea for your child to see his/her name,
and it is amazing how young they are able to recognize it, even as
young as age two, when they are exposed to it every day. It is a great
pre-reading exercise. I hope this helped!
