Riding a bike, swimming in the deep end, and playing an instrument are just examples of our favorite childhood activities that require practice to master. So, does math! Brush off those negative feelings about math and instill enthusiasm. Math will play a role in your child’s life forever. As they grow, kids will learn that they are willing to work hard at something they love. It may just be math. Either way, remember that your child does not have to excel at math to enjoy it.
