He is a lucky little boy to have someone who cares so much for his development from the very begining.\n\nI think this webiste is great, it lets you know how the child is changing at each stage and how you can assist their development. Just select the age range at the bottom of the page.\n\nhttp://www.babyworld.co.uk/information/baby/dev_chart/menu.htm

1.Talk to them as you would an adult, without the explicits.\n2. Go to http://leapfrog.com for great videos and toys.\n3. You could also try http://www.discoverytoysinc.com\n4.Consistent, repetition helps my toddlers a lot.\n    Ex:  One week, around each hour, I will do a topic like:  ABCs, shapes, numbers, math:  and we will make it into our "projects" and songs.\n5.  Sesame Street is still quite popular and effective.

old wives tale - eat lots of eggs while pregnant. Get a book on Signing with Baby where you teach your baby sign language.  IT's suppose to develop the language neurons at an early age which will boost IQ later.  There is a theory about listening to Mozart's music too.

First thing you need to do is learn to spell. Spend more time learning in school, less time worrying about the boy. At the very least use the spell checker.

At six she is not a baby any more! She should be interested in everything and able to understand more than you probably think.\n\nHer mind needs stimulating with lots of things - mostly the things she sees around you. Nature, simple science, painting, books, household jobs (for eye-hand co-ordination) and simple cooking.\n\nMost of all, she needs YOU. If she asks things that neither of you know, find out the answer together!

designations of toys for the children were counts a lot.anywei, i have been experienced taking good care of kinder ages children and they want many ways in playing their toys.ages 2-5 were too playful,they grab,kick,suck anything,and chew anything.for this to avoid lead them to a safer place and away from unwanted objects.give them a suitable food for them to chew.medicinal toy cud help.For them to develop differences of objects try to tell them the difference between the two object. Ages 6-7,little creature at this age were eager to study more and more,and so buy a toy that suits their vocabulary and mathematical ability.this can help in refining their mental ability.in supermarkets ia lot of toys like this offered. 8-9 ages were starting in revealing their external  and internal behaviour.try to read knowledgeable books with them,and try to explain it to them by their selves,for them to develop analization.and prolem solving. Ages 10-12-emotions and self steem starts.give them time in some spiritual advices to know the diiferences of around us.share with them a game like going out at home somtimes for a change of sorroundings.let them know their likes abt hanging outsite.the rest of the age well..... thanks for letting me read.:)

Some of the responses on here are nothing but a blatant display of ignorance.\n\nI am dealing with an 11 year old with similar issues and we are having a VERY hard time. It's been this way since he was very small. Early intervention is a good thing.\n\nOne thing I found very helpful when my son was about 8 was the book 1-2-3 Magic. It's a deceptively simple discipline plan and it really worked for a while for us. Not so much these days though. It's definitely worth checking out of the library. I did that and then went and bought myself a copy.

You can take him to some of your friends who have kids of his age.Let him play there with toys and you also join them along wih ur friends.He will feel secured and friendly

Try to encourage him by setting a good example yourself (reading, becoming sharper in your own skills, etc.); introducing him to the best quality of people you can find as friends; do things with him to develop the kind of relationship where he will listen to what you suggest; ask your son's school and teachers for ideas. Volunteer at your son's school - be around, be available, and be interested in all aspects of his life.

they do it there own time, just don't give him what he wants till he asks for it in real words. help him when he wants a drink tell him to say drink or baba whatever word you use. when he is speaking giberish tell him that you love him. ask him where his nose is and point to it.  do the same for the rest of his body. when you give him a toy tell him toy or ball or rattle, say it over and over till he says it. don't respond to tantrums or anything like that. it takes time but it works. my 18 month old is speaking well and this is what we did for him.

Teach him to smoke cigarettes and drink lots of Coke. He will become an average US kid everybody seems to dream of nowadays. Start saving money for a wheelchair, if he is human of course. If he is a carnivorous plant, give him a bigger pot.

I have no doubt that you have been trying to instill values of the clean nature in him for a long time. Here he is almost 18 and has yet to adapt. Soooo, I am relatively sure you are asking for help, but not expecting any miracles. You know that you have probably already exhausted every avenue that any one of us might tell you. I have sons also, and when you describe your son its as if you were talking about one of my boys. I have no solution for you,... I just wanted you to know you are not alone in this aspect. There is one thing you can "teach yourself" though that might eliminate some of your frustration about him. Don't take it personnel when he does this! Save your energy. Choose your battles! Keep instilling the lesson of what he needs to know, but don't worry about him not doing it. Try a role change with him on occasions,... when he needs you to do something, tell him "just a minute", or "I will get on that soon", or "I meant to do that, but forgot", ...throw his lines back at him and watch him get frustrated. Its good clean amusement for you, I promise!  My boys, and I am sure your son, too, are 'good' people, and yes, lazy people. But as long as he is staying out of real trouble, you really have no problems compared to some Moms out there. They do grow up, and when you go to their homes in the future, he will make you proud. I know!!! You are me, 14 years ago. Hang in there, its going to be alllllright!

The best way is to relate all topics (holistic approach), for instance, depending on the age, let them do their own small books, let them do some short anecdotes using the computer, word recognition is possible to sing some songs and recognize words, let them write words in sand boxes.\n\n____________________________________\nNeed help or advise?

Repetition is the key to learning at that age, which is why adults lose patience, so my first tip is to sing songs together (helps them with memory) and to develop and establish routines.  Talk about what you're doing and why you're doing it (first we do this, then we do this, then after that, we can go to the store).  \n\nI'm not sure where you are, but if you have access to Noggin, the "preschool television channel," insist on him watching only that if he must watch any television at all.  This will help you out by limiting his access to television and help you to learn for yourself what kinds of things children his age are interested in, yet are good for learning.  Visit their website for some help, too, to get started.  Pay attention to some of the games they play (matching colors and shapes, patterns, etc.).  \n\nReading stories together is a definite plus, and this summer, visit your library and take part in whatever reading program (if any) is going on.  The one here allows children as young as three to join, even if they are not yet reading, and they win prizes for participation.  Even without such prizes, the library can be a fun place for kids.  Make sure to check out a book or two of your own, so he can see that mom also likes to read and those librarians obviously like reading, and they're pretty nice people.  \n\nAnother thing to do is to have him help with chores such as grocery shopping.  Talk to him about how much to get (that's math!) and how to pay (counting money is also math).  When you cook, have him help measure and help fold laundry (that's geometry).  \n\nIf you have any sort of "lessons" for kids his age (here there are a lot of parent-and-child together things like tumbling, dance, swimming lessons, and so on), he can practice following directions in a supportive atmosphere with his mom.\n\nAs you can see, you'd be surprised how much is already around you to do that will help him be ready for pre-school.  The main thing is to talk more, break things you're already doing into steps, and set up and establish a routine.  For pre-school, the main thing your teacher will need is the ability to sit quietly (sometimes) and follow directions.  Good luck!

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 .
