o There has been a growing concern among parents, teachers, and policy-makers about the fall in math grades of children across several regions of Canada. o Halloween is just around the corner. Children dressed in spooky clothes will move in the neighborhood asking for Trick or Treat. o While children try and scare with us their monstrous avatars, as a parent, we should know what scares them in reality. Are they harboring any anxieties that limit their growth? o If your child has ever said “I cannot do math”, “I don’t remember math formulas” or even “math is so boring”, you should consider it as early signs of anxiety towards math subject. o As a parent, you should identify your child’s approach towards Math and take corrective measures if required. o Math proficiency is not just limited to solving calculations as the subject is known to develop critical cognitive skills like logic, reasoning, problem-solving, judgment, application and more. o These skills are applicable to other subjects as well. So, if your child does not like math, chances are he/she will not develop critical cognitive skills during the early years.
