Parents and teachers should deeply care about basic arithmetic practice for children aged 4-5 because it lays the foundation for future academic success and cognitive development. During these formative years, a child's brain is highly adaptable and primed for learning essential skills. Introducing arithmetic at this stage helps to develop critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and logical reasoning. By practicing simple concepts like counting, addition, and subtraction, children begin to understand numerical relationships and patterns, which are pivotal for more complex mathematical concepts later on.

Incorporating arithmetic exercises can also boost a child's confidence and encourage a positive attitude towards learning. Early success in math can inspire a love for the subject and reduce the likelihood of math anxiety in later years. For parents and teachers, incorporating playful and engaging arithmetic activities into everyday routines can make learning enjoyable and less intimidating.

Moreover, basic arithmetic practice supports other cognitive skills such as memory, attention span, and the ability to follow instructions. These skills are transferable and beneficial across all areas of learning and daily activities, fostering well-rounded cognitive and educational development for the child. Ultimately, early exposure to arithmetic forms a crucial part of a child's early education, setting the stage for lifelong learning and academic achievement.
