Read to her: You cannot make her a genius nor do you need to. Most doctors that i know are not geniuses but rather smart and very hard working. The most important thing you can do at an early age is to read to her daily. This will help engender a love of reading and a love of learning. Early readers do much better academically than those who are not.

Buy fun toys: I recommend fun low tech toys that allow a child to use his or her imagination. Blocks, stacking toys, shape sorters, puzzles are good examples. Play with your daughter at her level daily as much as possible. Encourage speech development with lots of positive attention. Avoid electronics.
