Dear Dr Dan, What is the earliest a child can recall a memory? And what is your earliest childhood memory MOM?

Answer 1

I remember deliberately peeing in my brother's bed because my parents told me not to wet my bed.

I think I was somewhere between two and three.

I also remember being bathed by my mom in the kitchen sink when my mom was pregnant with my sister who is 2.3 years younger than me. I told her she was having a girl.

Answer 2

mendacity in my cot looking by a doorway, the position i ought to ascertain my mom sitting in a chair on the right of a table. i idea " i ought to say reliable morning, no which will be stupid". Later in existence, when I defined the full area of my mom, which includes precisely what I talked about. She stated that i could not were better than a pair of months previous. She replaced into completely surprised that I had precisely defined the ecosystem and the view by the door. It replaced into no dream. So now at the same time as i check out a small toddler and he or she is watching me heavily searching like she is wondering.. I provide her the great element about the doubt. :o)

Answer 3

My earliest clear memory that I can be sure I'm actually remembering rather than imagining because of hearing so many stories about it happened when I was 3. It's too embarrassing to post here though. (Yes, even more embarrassing than the person who peed on their brother's bed. :P)

Answer 4

I remember a single frame in my head of the kitchen in my parent's first house. It was a trailer (yeah... we were white trash. My dad even had a gigantic truck), and we moved out before I was two years old.

I remember this amber glow given off by the lights, and I remember how the kitchen and living room were seperated by a kitchen counter. The counter tops were white with this gold spackle in them (classy, eh?).

Answer 5

I was 18 months old. in a nasty car wreck. My brother lost an eye and I remember the day, even the Drs. office with a big moose head and icky paneling.

Answer 6

we cannot remember typically past age 3 due to the psychological phenomenon known as infantile amnesia. The theory goes that "pruning" in the brain as infants and toddlers grow and develop prevents them from maintaining early and lasting memories due to such an active period of "pruning" (strengthening and weakening of neural connections depending on frequency of use)
