You're already 15 months too late. If you haven't started on Baby Einstein, do it right now.

In addition, instead of teaching ABCs, teach him to sing Q..W..E..R..T..Y.. . Trust me, it'll make his life a whole lot easier.

You can also buy DVDs where kids sing their multiplication tables. Unfortunately, the ones I have come across is in Mandarin. But why not have him learn a second language at the same time?

If he doesn't have a sister, buy him dolls so that he can pull them apart to see how things work.

You might think I'm jesting, but I'm aware of parents who are doing some of these things.
