Parents and teachers should prioritize building money calculation skills for children aged 4-6 due to its foundational role in financial literacy and overall cognitive development. Introducing basic concepts of money—like identifying coins and understanding simple transactions—provides young children with practical life skills they will use throughout their lives. Early exposure to money fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and basic arithmetic skills, which are crucial for academic readiness.

By learning money calculation, children also gain a tangible way to understand abstract mathematical concepts. Counting coins, making change, and differentiating between denominations strengthen their number sense and arithmetic fluency, laying the groundwork for more complex math skills. Additionally, these activities can enhance their attention to detail and improve their ability to follow step-by-step processes.

Money lessons serve as an excellent platform for teaching essential life values such as responsibility, saving, sharing, and decision-making. When children understand that money is earned and limited, they learn about budgeting and the significance of managing resources wisely. By incorporating money calculation into early education, parents and teachers help children build confidence in handling financial tasks, fostering self-sufficiency and preparing them for a financially responsible future. The skills learned at this age create a solid foundation for lifelong financial health and independence.
