Parents and teachers should care about mental arithmetic for children aged 5-7 because it plays a crucial role in early cognitive development and builds a strong foundation for future academic success. During these formative years, young children's brains are highly receptive to learning and developing new skills. Introducing mental arithmetic at this stage helps to improve their number sense, which is the ability to understand and work with numbers instinctively.

Moreover, mental arithmetic enhances critical thinking, problem-solving, and logical reasoning abilities. These cognitive skills are not confined to mathematics alone; they are transferable and beneficial across various subjects and everyday life situations. For example, being able to quickly and accurately calculate amounts or change helps with real-life tasks like shopping or sharing items among friends.

Additionally, mastering mental arithmetic boosts children's confidence and self-esteem. When they realize they can solve problems quickly and correctly, they are more likely to approach new challenges with a positive attitude. This confidence can lead to a more positive outlook towards learning in general.

In a world that increasingly values analytical and quick-thinking skills, ensuring that children develop strong mental arithmetic abilities from an early age sets them on a path to thrive academically and beyond. Thus, it is imperative for parents and teachers to foster and nurture these skills diligently.
