Parents and teachers should care about problem-solving addition and subtraction word problems for children aged 4-5 because these skills serve as the foundation of early mathematical understanding and cognitive development. At this formative age, children are developing critical thinking and reasoning abilities, and word problems encourage them to apply mathematical concepts in real-world scenarios. This practical application not only makes math fun and relevant but also helps children grasp the significance of numbers and arithmetic early on.

Furthermore, problem-solving enhances a child's ability to comprehend and process information by helping them learn how to break down complex tasks into simpler steps. It nurtures their logical reasoning and analytical thinking, skills that are vitally important both academically and in day-to-day life. Additionally, working through word problems encourages language development as children must understand and follow the narrative of the problem, integrating literacy and numeracy skills.

Early exposure to problem-solving word problems also builds confidence in young learners. Successfully solving problems provides a sense of achievement and develops a positive attitude towards math, reducing math anxiety later in life. By investing in these skills early, parents and teachers set children on a successful educational trajectory with robust problem-solving capabilities that will benefit them in all areas of learning.
