Why does a child who was once confident in Maths suddenly start doubting themselves — even when their ability hasn’t changed?

According to TIMSS 2023 international data,

📊 27% of Grade 4 students feel very confident in Maths

📉 By Grade 8, that number drops to just 13%

That’s nearly a 50% drop in confidence — without a matching drop in ability.

So children don’t suddenly become bad at Maths.

They stop believing they’re good at it.

In this video, Mamta Rupesh explains the brain-based truth behind this shift:

✅ What actually changes inside a child’s brain

✅ Why confidence drops before marks do

✅ How fear, pressure, and comparison silently rewire learning

✅ And 3 simple, practical experiments parents can try at home to rebuild Math confidence — safely and effectively

This is not about lowering expectations.

This is about changing the experience.

When Maths feels safe again,

Confidence returns first…

Marks follow later.
