What age is TOO young to start developing certain learning skills?

Language learning is easier at an early age because the brain is still actively diciphering english words. You hear kids say lieberry, instead of library and think, aww cute, but we take advantage of our skill to extract the pieces of the word when we say it. Kids constantly work to do this and at first their speech is a little muddy and hard to understand.

Start with the alphabet...  One good thing I have done is to READ to them every night.  I have a daughter that is 3 and she went to preschool this past year.  She knew her alphabet by the time she was 3.  The other thing that helped her was the Leap Pad I got her.  She recognizes all of the letters of the alphabet.  She has learned alot from her leap pad.  As far as a 1 year old, you can't expect too much, if I can give you one piece of advice it would be to just talk normally to the 1 yr old.  Eventually they will pick up what you are saying and they will respond in their own way.

Oh, those are good ages for natural study.\n\nDaycare, while it is still a great place to exist, is a wonderful time for kids to LEARN things.  Kinda like a kindergarten :)\n\nDependant on where you are, consider natural study as a class project.\n\nHave them pick the environment, and then have them make the environment in class (either through diorama or whatever).  And then, have them pick what animals, plants, and other items exist within the habitat.  Have them make such things.\n\nNow, as they are between the ages of 5 and 9, this is a bit complex, so help them out :) Give them some ideas, and let their imaginations go wild from there.\n\nWhen done, have them look at the habitat, and if you are in a rural area that has a similar habitat, get permission from the parents and take them too it.\n\nOne of the biggests mistakes that most daycare facilities make is that they don't include learning in their work time.  Mainly because they don't know when the parents will pick up the kid :)\n\nBut simple ongoing projects like natural learning, ect, are great ways to entertain kids from day to day, onto weeks into weeks.\n\nSome other ideas:  making little cars, building little soap modles, building clay cities, ect.\n\nBe creative. These ages are great for shaping their young minds :)

No.  Their brains aren't developed enough to learn too much, even after they're born.  They can learn the sound of their parents' voice though.  Beware of scams that claim they can turn a baby into a genius--researchers have found that most babies develop at about the same rate, regardless of how much Baby Mozart they listen to.

not until the age of 16.

I'm almost 50 and have yet to learn how.  I suppose it's something I should learn some day.  Or not.

As a human baby's brain grows and the coordination of tongue, lips and vocal cords improves, they learn to speak. As they grow older, they are exposed to new words and ideas. Their vocabulary, grammar and communication skills develop.

I don't believe there is a cutoff age.  My mother started when she was 35, which was considered pretty old at the time, but she graduated and is still practicing at 60.

At our local school, they start as young as 4.\nI've seen much older (adults) start as well.

No that is not too young if you can get a work permit.  At that age though you have to want to and have time for it.  School is more important at this age.  However a job must be found by age 18.

she isn't ready. to make her would be a bad idea    have patience    she will do it in her own time when she is ready. also depends on how old she is  over 3 is to old to not be trained.

At this age everything she does is education: looking around, discovering things, learning her colors, letters, etc., because she wants to. So you don't have to worry about right now.\n\nAbsolutely you should read to her, let her see you reading. Start conversations with "I wonder how" or "I wonder why", and then find the answers together, at the library or on the internet. Make it fun.\n\nBy the time she's older and NEEDS to study, she'll already be good at getting information and think it's a fun thing to do.\n\nLearning doesn't have to be boring or hard, and it doesn't mean you have to memorize everything.

I am not sure what age group you are dealing with. I guess it does not matter, the skill building does. However if your child is in an upper grade and you find skill building things that are a few grade behind, you will need to explain to her what you are trying to achieve, or get creative in hiding it. You may want to look at some of the sites, see what they are trying to accomplish and adjust the content and  the vocabulary. Remember writing is a process, you will need to get the child used to the idea the writing becomes good when you revise it for clarity and accuracy. One thing i did notice with my daughter was  the idea of getting it all together in one step was enough to freeze her in place. The idea, the spelling, the punctuation, grammar, and making it all flow and sound right can be a lot to think about. Do it in steps. Providing a list of correctly spelled  words to refer to can make this easier at first.\nAlso try reading a little and have her write a sentence or two to complete the story, change the ending, and so forth. \nBelow are some links that may help.

You need a broad base of skills and long term you need to continue to develop new skills; however I find that I need about 6 mos to develop new skills sufficently to be real productive.\n\nIf you can build on your old skills and develop new skills at the same time the great.\n\nI found that in about two years in the same job, I tend to get lazy and find that in my third year I tend not to improve my job skills unless I take on new responsiblities or a different type of work.

I think the age ranges and even adults can give lousy answers.  I am 24 and have sometimes seen more wisdom from my five year old nephew then I have from people twice my age.

It is up to you what you teach. A child upto certain age can learn\nupto15 languages simultaneously. i feel a child is born very intelligent.Repetition of any study material will make him very intelligent. i suggest whatever you see speak to him.e.g. observing the colours around him,sounds of animals ,birds, ambulance, fire engine etc... more you talk more he will learn. Take him to the vegetable vendor,grocer, super market show him everythig there after a few days you will be amazed to see him showing U.Same rule applies to Maths also .
