Parents and teachers should care about real-life application of addition and subtraction for 4-year-olds because it helps lay a strong foundation for their future mathematical understanding and cognitive development. At this age, children are naturally curious and are beginning to understand the world around them. Introducing them to basic mathematical concepts through real-life contexts makes learning meaningful, engaging, and easier to grasp.

When children learn addition and subtraction through everyday experiences, such as counting toys, sharing snacks, or playing with blocks, they develop practical problem-solving skills. These foundational skills are not only important for math proficiency but are integral to developing logical reasoning, critical thinking, and decision making.

Furthermore, mastering these skills early on boosts children's confidence and encourages a positive attitude towards learning. It fosters a sense of accomplishment when they can relate mathematical concepts to their own experiences, making them more likely to be engaged and motivated learners in the future.

Lastly, real-life application of these basic arithmetic skills embodies the concepts in a way that scripted lessons may not, promoting a deeper understanding which is not quickly forgotten. Thus, emphasizing practical addition and subtraction for 4-year-olds plays a crucial role in their holistic development and sets the stage for academic success.
