But remember: as a parent, you have the power to boost your children's learning potential simply by making books an integral part of their lives.Show your child that reading is a year-round activity by making reading fun and interesting. Let your child see you read. If your child views reading as a pleasant and relaxed activity, chances are he or she will be eager to read on his or her own. Visit book stores with your child.

Eat healthy..
_How can I encourage my preschooler to be a good eater?
Keep calm and offer your child nutritious foods, but let him decide how much he will eat. Be confident that he knows better than you how much food is enough for him.
Keep to regular meal and snack times, taking into account your preschooler's daytime naps. Offer three regular meals and two or three small, nutritious snacks. Examples are:
vegetable sticks,pancake, scone or bun with a cup of milk
cherry tomatoes and cubes of cheese
yoghurt with fruits or fruit slices fruit and milk smoothie a small sandwich fresh fruit
It's better not to give your child a main meal just before a nap, as he is likely to be too tired to eat. Give him a small snack or drink instead and a meal when he wakes up. Snacks which are evenly spaced between meals will help to avoid the frustrations of being over-hungry.
Make meals interesting and fun. Always give both a savory and sweet course with main meals. This gives your preschooler two opportunities to consume nutrients, and increases the variety of foods your child is eating.
