What is the ‘Write’ way for our children?

The other day, my neighbour stopped to chat and introduced me to her 4-year-old granddaughter. Before I could say hello, she said proudly that she can count to 100 and write her name. This is not unusual and resonant of a growing pattern where adults seem to feel it is important to want their children to be able to read and write almost before they can speak.
So, what has prompted this urge? Do we need children to be able to sign their names by the age of three? Do they have their own chequebooks? I suspect it is part of our modern urge to teach children complex concepts far too early.
