We do a lot of literacy work with young kids – we read to them, we ask them to tell us stories about their days, we encourage them to color and to write. And for whatever may be the cause of this, it's just easier for parents to work on these verbal skills rather than math skills. But we really want to encourage those math skills as well! So in this episode Fireborn reviews some easy math activities (and some discussions that even get into science as well) that you can play with your young kids to help get their brains learning those important skills.
