Parents and teachers should care about solving word problems for children aged 4-7 because these skills are foundational for a child's overall cognitive development and future academic success. At this age, children are transitioning from concrete to abstract thinking. Engaging with word problems allows them to practice critical thinking, reasoning, and problem-solving skills in a context that fosters comprehension.

Word problems also enhance literacy skills, as understanding the language and context is crucial to finding solutions. By encouraging children to dissect the problem, they learn to identify key information and operation, whether it involves addition, subtraction, or basic logic. This practice not only aids their mathematical understanding but also boosts reading comprehension.

Additionally, tackling word problems cultivates perseverance and resilience. Children learn that not every solution comes easily, helping them develop a positive attitude toward challenges. When parents and teachers emphasize the importance of word problems, they also promote collaboration and communication skills, whether through discussions or peer interactions.

Ultimately, fostering these skills at a young age sets the groundwork for more complex mathematical concepts and helps create a well-rounded learner who approaches challenges with confidence and creativity.
