[quote=Anonymous]I think one of the tricks is to identify the way your child learns best.

I am the OP of the "exceptionally bright" thread.  I don't think my youngest is a genius in any way at all and his proficiency at ABC/123 is likely just memorization of what he has seen.  His father has a photographic memory and I suspect that some of this is in DS2, making it easier for him to learn some rote things.  This is completely and utterly different from how his older brother learns.  DS1 is a very tactile learner.  He was slower to "memorize" his letters and numbers.  As far as counting, it wasn't until he was given things to actually count that he really caught on.

I do agree about the regression as well.  I have seen some in my oldest and even witnessed it in numerous nieces & nephews.  Several letters are similar, they will write them backwards, this is all typical of how children learn.
