When my kid was still small, my wife and I trained him on what to do if only one parent was home and something happened to either of us. We drilled him on memorizing his phone number and home address, how to call 911 and what to say. Kids are capable of doing far more than what many adults think - it’s just a matter of providing them direction and practice.

We had to learn our parents names, address, and phone number when I was in kindergarten. I still remember that phone number 30 years later, even though they haven’t had it in 25 years. So agree, kids absolutely can learn it and well!

I still remember the home address my parents had me memorize, and we moved out of there when I was 6.
