Many attitudes we develop as children shape us as adults and influence our decisions and future, including our attitudes toward education or specific subjects. One of the common factors that greatly impact the academic and career prospects of students is 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙝; call it 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙗𝙞𝙖. Below are 6 crucial reasons you should support your child to overcome it as early as possible.

𝟏. 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦-𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬
The knowledge of Math fosters the development of problem-solving and logical thinking skills that are relevant to everyday situations requiring decision-making.

We use mathematical skills in activities such as shopping, measuring cooking ingredients, time management and budgeting allowance. Likewise, at some point, students will have to apply math concepts to critically analyze information and data as well as solve problems in school assignments and projects.

𝟐. 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞
A strong understanding of Math enables students to succeed in physical, environmental, biological, chemical and social sciences, including technology and art, that require students to measure and work out patterns. A good knowledge of Math boosts learners' confidence and reduces the nervousness related to exams and tests.

More importantly, the ability to perform well in Math improves students’ chances of acing standard entrance exams and tests as it is usually a required subject by many schools and even examination and corporate bodies. In fact, poor performance in math makes school unappealing to students.

𝟑. 𝐖𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬
There’s no doubt that a good understanding of Math often ultimately informs students’ career options and choices. Inadequate Math skills discourage them from in-demand and high-paying careers like computer science, medicine, engineering and finance that require solid Math skills.

𝟒. 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬, 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐢𝐞𝐬
We apply numerical skills when strategizing, analyzing points, goals and tables, or making moves in games, sports and some hobbies, such as ludo and football.

𝟓. 𝐄𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲
A strong understanding of math can help with managing personal finances and making intelligent investment decisions in adulthood. This will help to avoid indebtedness. Strong personal finance skills are crucial for financial stability and success. Those who have strong Math skills can make informed decisions whether they are planning a vacation or considering buying a house or a car.

𝟔. 𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐬
Remember, too, that children who acquire solid Math skills are better positioned to support their siblings and children in learning Math.

In a recent post, we sought people's views on the impact of the following factors on a child's academic performance:

1. Parental Support
2. Learner's Interest and Efforts
3. Quality of Teachers
4. Learning Environment and School Facilities
5. Inborn (Natural) Talent

According to the opinion poll's outcome, respondents think 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕 or 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒔' 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒆𝒇𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒔 have the greatest impact on children's academic performance.

Curiously, the 𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔, 𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒕 and the 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒆𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒍 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔 are not considered to have the greatest impact by any of the respondents.

Therefore, in our next posts, we'll identify ways parents and guardians can support their children and wards to develop an interest in learning and realize their academic goals.
