The very best thing you can do is read to her everyday. I read to my oldest son everyday when he was a baby and he was able to read at 4, has an IQ in the 130s, graduated with honors and has an academic scholarship to any college of his choice.

the number one thing you can do is lots of love and talk to her. regular conversation stimulates the brain into functioning more efficiently. Also expose her to many different things. different cultures, foods, music art, animals just getting her out into the world. Let her make her own choices. there have been studies that found the most successful and smart people were the one that had to make choices early in life and the ones that were allowed or givin time in adult conversation. Just remember all children are different and you will find your child love and talents soon. Good Luck.

Not sure if you can Grow smartness.... my mom was a neglectful alcoholic who let me do whatever, I was molested, abused. Alowed to ditch school and live at a nude beach, I did drugs and all kinds of terrible things.
I had to have an IQ test for medical reasons and turns out my IQ is 145.... I was shocked. The neuropsycologist said that I was an "underacheiving genious" that was real good for the ego...
Anyway, Just stimulate her whenever you have a chance and don't burn her out. Just have educational fun.

Talk to her using normal speech, not baby talk. Play educational games, read to her, answer any questions she has with real answers, not just ones to get them to be quiet. Sometimes genetics have a lot to do with it too. My husband and his brother are math and science geniuses and could both read around age 3-4, and my son just turned 3 last month and has been able to read simple words for about 5 months.

Read to her, read to her, read to her. Everyday. Limit the amount of TV she is allowed to watch when she gets older and throw out the video games. Foster a love of books and reading; expose her to music, art, and the theatre. Be sure that she gets physical exercise, for believe it or not, a healthy body supports a healthy mind. Don't ever be too tired to answer questions or to read to her.

I have a 3 year old and I breastfed him for over a year (newborn up to over 1 year old) and we read to him often ever since he was a newborn up until now. I prefer reading difficult books to him because they have more vocabulary words in them instead of board books. We also play classical music to him (borrowed baby classical cd's from the library) and playing piano to him. Studies show that classical music helps stimulate a child's development. I even played classical music to him when I was preggars and my spouse read to him (prenatal parenting).
I also take my child to storytime/crafts events at local libraries, which is free admission and you don't need to show your library card, so even out of towners can go there if they wish. Check your local library/libraries website for free activities/events for you and your child to go to such as storytime and crafts, kids music round, foreign languages, playgroup,etc.
Hope this helps!

Read to her! Continue to read to her as she grows up and don't stop - your daughter will not only be smarter, but you two will bond

children can grow smarter on their own... if they have the will and initiative to do so.. children age 2 can be creative and very curious... tehy tend to do things out of curiousity..they even learn to do things just by watching u.. these are the very first things that they learn.. by just observing them u'll know...
