  I'm not sure, but whenever I tell him to give me his right/left hand, right/left foot, turn right, turn left, etc. etc. he always does. Maybe it's just coincidence, but we have been working with him on this for quite some time now.

  They work on it a lot here in Kindergarten.  Very few kids know it before then, just from what I see in the classrooms.

  I remember learning it when I started playing piano at 4...but I had a really hard time with it for awhile.

  DD knows left & right most of the time.  Sometimes she biffs it, but if we ask for her left foot, she offers up the correct one about 90% of the time.

  My DS will say left and right and knows that they are some kinda direction (he will be 2 1/2 in january) but its usually a coincedence if he points or goes in the direction he is saying.  I was gonna guess 4 yrs to kindergarten range but wasn't sure.

  DS is learning this now and he just turned 3. He gets it right most of the time but somehow forgets every now and then
