Understanding basic addition and subtraction is crucial for children ages 3-6, as it lays the foundational skills needed for more complex mathematics in later years. During this developmental stage, children are naturally curious and eager to learn, making it the perfect opportunity for parents and teachers to introduce these concepts.

First, math skills help in cognitive development. Understanding addition and subtraction encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and logical reasoning. These are essential skills not only in math but in daily life situations as well.

Second, mastery of these fundamental concepts boosts children's confidence. A solid grasp of numbers helps them to feel capable and competent, which contributes to a positive attitude towards learning as they progress through school.

Moreover, early exposure to these mathematical operations fosters numeracy skills, which is important given the increasing emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education in today's world.

Lastly, by engaging children in fun, interactive activities involving addition and subtraction, both parents and teachers can strengthen their parent-child or teacher-student relationships, making learning an enjoyable experience. Thus, understanding normal addition and subtraction is essential for holistic child development and setting them up for future academic success.
