Parents and teachers play a crucial role in a child's early developmental stages, and focusing on fundamental math skills such as normal addition and subtraction is essential for 4-year-olds. At this developmental stage, children are rapidly building their cognitive skills, and introducing these basic arithmetic concepts can set a strong foundation for future learning.

Firstly, mastering addition and subtraction helps in developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. These foundational skills are necessary for later stages of education and everyday decision-making. When children practice these concepts early on, they build a comfort level and familiarity with numbers, promoting strong numerical literacy that supports more complex math in subsequent years.

Secondly, engaging in math activities improves a child's ability to concentrate and extends their attention span. While working through simple arithmetic problems, children learn to focus and persevere, skills that benefit their overall academic journey.

Moreover, early achievement in math fosters a positive attitude towards the subject. When children experience success with addition and subtraction, it boosts their confidence and cultivates an enthusiasm for learning, reducing math anxiety later on.

Finally, subtraction practice, in particular, helps children understand the concept of taking away and loss, which are pivotal not just academically but also in tangible real-life situations, like sharing toys.

In essence, prioritized attention towards basic addition and subtraction equips children with critical early math skills, helping pave the way for future academic and life success.
