Parents and teachers should care about fostering problem-solving skills through reading fiction for 4-year-olds because these abilities are foundational for a child's cognitive and social growth. At this developmental stage, children's brains are highly receptive to new information, and engaging them with fiction that includes problem-solving scenarios lays the groundwork for critical thinking.

Reading fiction provides a safe and imaginative space for children to encounter diverse challenges and think through solutions. When children are exposed to stories with characters facing problems and devising solutions, they begin to internalize these strategies. This can manifest in improved decision-making and heightened creativity in real-life situations.

Moreover, fiction often teaches empathy by allowing children to see situations from another's perspective, which can broaden their problem-solving approaches. For instance, understanding why a character behaves a certain way or makes specific choices helps children realize that multiple solutions can exist for a single problem.

Lastly, these early experiences with storytelling and critical thinking promote a love for reading and learning. Integrating problem-solving skill development within narrative contexts makes the process engaging and enjoyable, laying a robust foundation for lifelong learning and resilience. Engaged and thoughtful problem-solvers from a young age grow into adaptive, successful individuals.
