Interest in maths

Interest in maths should be developed in children during early hood. Parents should engage children questioning different calculations to be done in a story form during light conversations. This would help them brainstorm and likely to develop inclination towards it.

Strong positive attitude

First and foremost parents need to develop a strong positive attitude towards maths and their children. They could encourage them in lot many ways.

Maths could not be learned in a day, it requires constant practice every day. Therefore parents should keep a track of the assignments to be done every day. Once they get started showing positive results.

Encourage them

Encourage them by giving a test to be done within a specified time slot and you could also reward them with a surprise gift on achieving the task. There is one thing to keep in mind that as parents you should know the level of skills applicable at every age.

Match up to your standards
