We trust our children to learn to walk and talk. These are essential skills! When was the last time someone was seriously worried that their baby was going to be too lazy or too unmotivated to learn what it needed to learn?
If no-one (read the school system, mostly) messes with their natural curiosity and ability to learn your baby will grow into a curious child who is eager to learn about his/her world and who knows exactly what interests him/her at any point.
If you feel you absolutely have to have an agenda then build it around their interest!

Bear in mind, it is only in the school system that there is a set time at which a child must know something or have a specific skill. And that is so that the child can keep up with the pace the class has set. It has nothing to do with that specific child and its unique skill set.

It takes a lot of faith - and you can do it!
