Expose them to a bunch of different things. When they show interest or aptitude, encourage them and support them. Trying too hard and forcing it on them can backfire - it can ruin your relationship with them, it can put them off pursuing something altogether, it can even slow their development (e.g. at certain ages playing is much more important for mental development than science). Just let your kid be a kid instead of treating them like your own video game character that you need to max out. Some signs that you might be trying too hard is that you're asking for a daily science routine for a 9-month old baby.
