Parents and teachers should care about basic arithmetic, particularly normal addition and subtraction, for children ages 4-7 because it lays the foundation for all future math learning and develops critical cognitive skills. Introducing these concepts early helps children understand the numerical relationships and patterns that underpin more complex mathematical problems. At this young age, children's brains are highly adaptable and capable of developing the neural pathways needed for numerical reasoning.

Learning addition and subtraction also enhances logical thinking and problem-solving abilities, which are essential skills not only in mathematics but also in daily life. These skills help children make sense of the world around them, from dividing snacks among friends to understanding the time.

Early competence in arithmetic fosters confidence and positive attitudes toward math, encouraging children to take on more challenging problems with enthusiasm. It diminishes the likelihood of math anxiety, which can hinder academic performance in later years.

Furthermore, early success in math creates a strong academic foundation and a growth mindset, instilling the belief that effort leads to improvement. By prioritizing basic arithmetic at an early age, parents and teachers set children on a path for continuous academic and personal growth.
