How often do parents discover, sometimes with mortification, that under stress they begin to sound just like their own mother or father? ... When we are perplexed, or confronted, by challenging parenting situations, it can be fruitful to ask ourselves: 'what was happening to me at the age that my child is now?' ~Robin Grill

Top 5 in: Books and Reading, Growth and DevelopmentTop 5 in 2 Topics		 The answer is easy and fun! Read to them. Read to them. Read to them! Not just at bedtime (though that's a great time and a perfect way to wind down after a busy day), but any time.
Read books and newspapers and recipes and road signs and anything with words. It's not just the reading, it's the time you are spending interacting with them and the language you are giving them. Studies show that the more words a baby hears the better the chances that he or she will grow up to graduate from college.

Top 5 in: Career Training, Choosing College, Computers, Television, and Technology, Depression and Mental Health, Discipline, Families and Relationships, Health and Wellness, Learning Disabilities and Special Needs, Learning Styles, Manners and Values, Parenting Support, Parents and Schools, Safety, School Policy and Education Issues, Setting Goals and Getting Motivated, Study Skills and Academics, Transitions and Readiness, Students' Civil RightsTop 5 in 18 Topics		 I second MaryKat's suggestion -- reading is the key skill for expanding learning and doing well in school. Make up 'learning games' as your child grows. Teach fractions when you follow a recipe. Teach division when you figure out the best unit price on items at the grocery store. Expose your child to new experiences, like taking him to a planetarium (if there is one nearby), children's theater, and botanical gardens. Anything that provides new information and new experiences help expand a child's mind and opens it up to learning even more.
