I don't and I just can't understand why.

No, honestly. I never do, not even when I was 15. Am I strange or what?

Well someone told me that I was put into kindergarten when I was not even 4 yo for whatever reason. But I have no memory about that and all this time people have been reminding me about childhood friends or stuffs because I don't have any memory about them whatsoever!!

I sure do , as far back as two years old. My sister on the other hand remembers very few details from her childhood so it doesn't seem to run in the family. I can picture things people were wearing, remember how their voices sounded or certain things they liked, hobbies,all kinds of details. That detailed memory has helped me find many old friends doing searches online so it has come in handy many times now and has become a blessing.As a child I was teased about it , but now I love it.

Memory is a really weird thing. Unless you suspect some kind of trauma is causing you to block memories, I wouldn't worry about it. I don't really remember anything before I started going to school - I think you need outside references or something to compare your experiences to. Did you start school late? How old are you now? I have two brothers and two sisters, and we all remember different things from our childhood, even though we were pretty close in age. And sometimes we have extremely different memories of the same event!

I do! It was a really cold morning, my mom dressed me up in a blue snowsuit ( i must have been 5 or 4) and I went out for the first time in the snow. My dad let me hold a carrot, and told me not to eat it. We went outside, and we built a snowman, or actually, my dad did, and I watched. My dad let me put the carrot for the nose (though it took a while for me to figure out how) and he did the eyes and mouth with coals from the bar-b-q. We then went into the house. I went into teh kitchen after taking the light-blue snow suit off, and stared out of the window as my mom gave me hot-chocolate. I then exclaimed, 'look! I see our snowman!!!' my dad smiled, and replied, 'yes it is'. I think that we only remember memories like that when it was a monumental moment. I cannot recal some of the b-day parties that I have had.

I remember scattered things. Not like a time line, day by day. Remember having a make believe friend. He jumped out of the car and into the river one time we were driving. By by. Halloween, my mom had not heard of trick or treat, so she gave them bread with jam ON it. Seemed OK no tricks came forth. Black out curtains at night. because of ww11. Drove over the Hoover Dam. Had an Army escort in front and behind. About 6 cars at a time. And the army trucks were bristling with guns. Boy were my eyes big. My baby sitter.,I always managed to make them cry. Guess I was a girl Dennis. M.

My earliest memories are form age 4. I remember my dad was always in a hurry, and one time he ran into a chair and flipped over at the restaurant he owned because he was walking so fast while talking to a customer and he wasn't paying attention.

I still have a friend that I met in kindergarten at age 5. We have been friends since the day we met and are still friends, even though we live in different cities now. We even have children about the same ages!

I remember a lot of things before the age of seven. I remember having pneumonia at age 1. Not vividly but small parts. Unless you learned to talk after the age of 7 you remember a lot as well.

Yes - I do. I have very vivid memories of things from about 4 yrs. old. I have some memories of things at 3, but only sketchy. I am not 36.
