Parents and teachers should prioritize mental arithmetic for children aged 6-8 because it builds foundational numeracy skills essential for future academic success. During these early years, children's brains are highly receptive to learning, making it a prime time to develop number sense and problem-solving abilities. Mental arithmetic, which involves calculating without physical aids, cultivates critical thinking, enhances memory retention, and improves concentration.

At this developmental stage, children encounter basic math concepts such as addition, subtraction, and simple multiplication or division. By mastering mental arithmetic, they enhance their cognitive flexibility, enabling them to think about numbers in diverse ways and to swiftly find solutions to problems. This skill is not only crucial for future mathematics but also aids logical reasoning and analytical thinking, which are valuable across all subject areas.

Moreover, mental arithmetic encourages a positive attitude towards math, building confidence and reducing math-related anxiety. When children can quickly and accurately perform calculations in their heads, they are likely to experience a sense of accomplishment, fostering a lifelong love for mathematics.

Ultimately, by integrating mental arithmetic early, parents and teachers provide children with a robust mathematical foundation, setting them up for academic success and equipping them with critical cognitive skills they will use throughout their lives.
