Parents and teachers should prioritize mental math practice and extra challenges for children aged 3-7 because these activities foster critical early cognitive development. At this formative stage, children's brains are exceptionally receptive to new information and skills. Engaging in mental math helps strengthen neural connections, enhancing problem-solving abilities and boosting memory retention.

Early mental math practice can instill a strong foundation for numerical literacy, essential for more advanced mathematics and other life skills. It promotes an intuitive understanding of numbers, patterns, and relationships, which can make learning math less daunting and more enjoyable as they grow older. Additionally, consistent mental math exercises improve attention spans, concentration, and can aid in overall academic performance.

Extra challenges in math also build resilience and confidence in young learners. When children are gently pushed beyond their comfort zones, they develop a growth mindset, learning to see challenges not as insurmountable obstacles but as opportunities for growth and mastery.

Moreover, such practices can be highly engaging and fun, incorporating games and playful activities that appeal to young children's natural curiosity and energy. By fostering an early love for math and learning, parents and teachers can help set the foundation for lifelong educational success and a positive attitude toward challenging concepts.
