Parents and teachers should prioritize basic math skills through normal word problems for ages 4-5 because it lays a critical foundation for future learning and cognitive development. At this tender age, children are highly receptive to new concepts, and introducing math through engaging word problems helps them grasp fundamental principles in a relatable, practical manner.

Early introduction to basic math problems fosters logical thinking, problem-solving capabilities, and enhances memory skills. Word problems, in particular, teach children to apply math in real-life situations, thus making the abstract concepts more tangible. This process encourages the development of critical thinking as children figure out not just how to solve mathematical problems, but why they make sense in daily life.

Moreover, math skills developed early boost children's confidence and willingness to tackle more complex problems as they progress in their education. This early practice aids in forming neural connections in the brain related to numerical competence, and early success in math can foster a positive attitude toward the subject.

Finally, becoming adept at basic math reduces future educational gaps, ensuring children progress at a standard pace with their peers. Parents and teachers who emphasize basic math skills through word problems equip children with indispensable tools for their academic journey and daily life.
