Everything is learning to a 1 year old! Playing is learning! When you talk to your daughter, she's learning! You don't need to "teach" her anything right now. She's learning something new everyday. If you're spending time with her, reading to her, talking to her, taking her places, taking her outside, showing her things and telling her what they are... then she's learning. You ARE teaching her! You don't need to go out and buy flash cards or special materials. You can teach colors, shapes, numbers, etc. while you're sitting on the floor playing with her or outside when you're going for a walk.
Potty training? Potty training is not even relevant right now. She's only a year old for goodness sake! What's your rush? She won't be ready for that until she's at least 2. You REALLY need to talk to your mom or some other mothers or do some reading or something!!!!! You need some good sound information and mentoring!

I have a 3 and a 1 year old when they both turned 1 we started to teach them basic sign language like please, thank you, more, potty, drink, and eat and no it does not stop them from talking just helps when your in public and your kid needs something and instead of the Uuuu they can give you the sign. Potty training well that comes when there ready be live me we tried to just start with my 3 year old when she was 1 1/2 cause she was taking her diaper off. After awhile she was having fits even going in the bathroom so we just stoped and left her a lone then after a few weeks we let her come in the bathroom with us and she just tried on her own around 2. so with my 1 year old were gonna wait we just started taking her to the bathroom with us she is starting to show interest but were not gonna push her at all there is no way I'm going through that mess again lol.

You should start potty training gradually, but not at 1. Some kids take until 3 or even 4.
Right now, you could teach her sign language. That's a lot of fun. You can also show her her colors. She can learn colors. When you show her something, use the opportunity to teach her.
When you give her a block, point to the color on the block and say "yellow" or "blue" and always do this and when she talks, she will be able to say the colors.
Sign language is a way that even younger children can communicate with you.

First, you don't need to try and teach at one, in the normal sense. Take her places where she can see nature, art, hear music, play, and be with other children. Varying her experiences is important and will give her a lot of stimuli. Stimulating the senses in turn bridges gaps in the synapses in the brain, making learning easier in the early school years.
Start potty training as soon as she seems interested. Buy a small "potty" for her to sit on. One, generally, is too early. But you could start by 18 months, and definitely by two.
Most importantly, teach her to interact with others and enjoy life. You can do this by spending lots of time with her and setting a good example. Be happy around your child, and she'll learn to have a great outlook on life!!
Good luck with your beautiful child :)

At this age they are learning so much just from watching and hearing all that is around them. Read to them A LOT, use picture books A LOT that show colors, animals things like that. When you go out fro walks talk about everything you see. As for potty traing you have awhile to go. That's tough. It really depends on when your child is ready. I think the normal age is between 2-4. We just potty trained our daughet and she turned 3 this month. I mean I am sure you could try it now but I think it would be incredibly frustrating for you and the baby.

I think she should learn to share by playing with other little ones. As far as learning by herself, those toys where you pull a string and it makes the sound of an animal, etc. are great learning tools. So are blocks and those pounding things to put round, square or oblong pegs in the proper place. I like anything where the child is able to participate--they learn by doing.
Potty training depends on the child. Some are trained at 1 1\2, some not till 3. If you try to force them before they are ready, then it takes longer because they get stubborn. Good luck.

It is a good idea to read to her. Show her the pictures and name and point at objects. Teach her different parts of the body (ears, nose, hair, mouth, etc. If she is like my son (1 1/2) she loves to go outside. Nature is full of great things to learn about (grass, dirt, trees, etc.) Just remember to keep things simple, using two word phrases ("go outside"). Identify and repeat! It has worked great for us. I think potty training for us will start in the near future, at least by the time he is 2. I don't think there is any certain age for this one though.

Read books to her. Let her watch little educational shows if you don't oppose to that. Show her shapes and colors, letters and numbers. You may think that its too early to start this but you'll be amazed at what they pick up. My son new his colors and some of his shapes by the time he was 2. He'll be 3 in December and is starting to learn his letters and some numbers. He also knows all his animals and the sounds they make. I don't know how advanced this is for his age, but I've seen lots of kids older(starting pre-K or kindergarten)that doesn't know half this stuff. You can go on the Pull-Ups website and it will tell you some things to watch for to tell when you child is ready to potty train. Hope this helps.

start reading phonics to her, read colors and let her see the different ones, animals, whatever you want to show her. we take kids for granted they are smarter than we think. as for the potty training some start at 12mo, and some earlier. i started walking at 10 mo,s and was potty trained at the same time. give her a drink in a cup whatever a bottle, and then sit her down about ten minutes after she drinks until she urinates. those leapfrog games are always a good source of training

being a mother of 2 children myself around the age of 1 you really want to start teaching her to pick up her messes that is the most important. start teaching manners. Potty training i would wait for another 2 or 3 months around 14-15 months is when you want to start with that. But for now teach her simple things like picking up messes or saying please and thank you
