Parents and teachers should prioritize subtraction practice alongside normal addition for children aged 6-8 because these foundational skills are critical for their mathematical development. At this stage, children are in a crucial period of cognitive growth where understanding math concepts forms the basis for future proficiency. Mastering subtraction and addition equips kids with essential problem-solving skills that they will continuously build upon in their education and daily life.

Subtraction, in particular, helps children grasp inverse operations, understand the concept of "taking away," and develops number sense. It reinforces logical thinking and enhances their ability to perform mental math, which is not only useful academically but also in real-life scenarios like managing allowances or sharing items. Balanced practice in both subtraction and additions leads to a holistic understanding of arithmetic and a confident transition to more complex mathematical concepts such as multiplication, division, and fractions.

Moreover, a strong foundation in these operations boosts children's confidence and fosters a positive attitude towards math, reducing anxiety and promoting perseverance. Providing engaging and varied practice opportunities ensures solid comprehension, setting apart persistent math learners from those who struggle. Therefore, parents and teachers must actively support and instill these fundamental skills at this formative stage.
