Problem-solving skills form a foundational element of cognitive development in children aged 4-9, and engaging them in extra challenges related to problem-solving yields multiple benefits. Parents and teachers should prioritize these activities because they cultivate critical thinking, allowing children to navigate complex situations both academically and in everyday life.

Firstly, these challenges help children learn to break down problems into manageable parts, fostering analytical and logical thinking. This skill set is not only crucial for subjects like math and science, but also enhances their ability to tackle obstacles across various domains.

Secondly, by offering children opportunities to solve extra problems, we promote perseverance and resilience. They learn that not all solutions come easily and that trial and error is part of the learning process. These experiences can build a growth mindset, encouraging children to view challenges as opportunities for learning rather than insurmountable hurdles.

Moreover, problem-solving activities often require collaboration, teaching kids the value of teamwork and different perspectives. Parents and teachers can also observe how children interact with peers, providing insights into their social and emotional development.

Lastly, consistent exposure to problem-solving bolsters self-confidence. As children succeed in these extra challenges, they build a sense of accomplishment, enhancing their overall self-esteem. This foundation not only supports academic success but prepares them for future life's challenges with confidence and competence.
