Parents and teachers should prioritize developing basic arithmetic skills in 6-year-olds because these skills are foundational for a child's future academic success and everyday life. At this age, children are at a crucial stage in their cognitive development where they can easily grasp fundamental concepts through engaging and hands-on activities. Mastery of basic arithmetic including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division fosters critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. It supports their understanding of more complex math topics they'll encounter later.

Early competence in arithmetic also boosts a child's confidence in their abilities, leading to a positive attitude towards learning and school, which is essential for their overall development. Children with strong arithmetic skills can perform everyday tasks such as telling the time, managing pocket money, and understanding distances, quantities, and measurements with greater ease.

Moreover, these skills are foundational for subjects beyond math, such as science, economics, and even music. Providing ample support and making arithmetic fun and accessible through games, puzzles, and practical activities can set children on a path of lifelong learning and curiosity. Hence, investing time in teaching arithmetic at an early age pays dividends in building a well-rounded, capable, and confident learner.
