Parents and teachers should prioritize subtraction practice and additional challenge word problems for children aged 5-6 because these foundational skills are pivotal for early mathematics development. Engaging in subtraction reinforces critical thinking and problem-solving abilities at a time when children's cognitive skills are rapidly evolving. Understanding subtraction not only lays the groundwork for later math skills but also enhances overall academic confidence.

Challenge word problems encourage children to apply subtraction in real-life situations, boosting their comprehension of mathematical concepts. This practice helps tenaciously connect math to everyday life, making it relatable and relevant for young learners. Additionally, working on both addition and subtraction simultaneously fosters a comprehensive understanding of number relationships, encouraging flexibility in thinking.

Moreover, such practice encourages perseverance and boosts children's resilience in facing challenges, lessons that extend beyond math. Careful guiding by parents and teachers can also foster a growth mindset, where children learn to view difficulties as opportunities for improvement. Overall, this practice helps instill essential math skills, promotes critical cognitive development, encourages a positive attitude towards learning, and prepares children for future academic success in a variety of subjects.
