Parents and teachers should invest in teaching 4-year-olds problem-solving skills using normal addition and subtraction because it lays a vital foundation for cognitive and academic development. Early math skills are directly linked to future academic success across various subjects, not just math. By introducing young children to basic addition and subtraction, we cultivate critical thinking, reasoning, and analytical skills that form the basis of more complex problem-solving abilities in later years.

Learning to add and subtract at a young age helps children understand numerical relationships and patterns, which enhances their understanding of the world around them. These early math activities also improve their attention spans and improve their ability to follow step-by-step instructions, develop patience, and foster a sense of achievement as they solve problems.

Furthermore, engaging children in fun and interactive problem-solving activities helps to instill a positive attitude toward learning and reduces math anxiety. It encourages persistence and resilience when faced with challenges. For instance, using games, toys, and everyday situations to practice basic math concepts makes learning enjoyable and relevant. By prioritizing these skills early on, parents and teachers can ensure that children have the essential tools and confidence to excel academically and tackle real-world situations effectively.
