Dealing with maths phobia and overcoming it.

One of the most dreaded subjects in school is reportedly mathematics. Fear of numbers for some, is so intense, that it seems hard for them to grasp concepts.

There are many reasons why a child may struggle with the subject:

Difficulty in understanding concepts and applying them, different learning style of the child, lack of interest, difference in aptitude,  frustration associated with the outcomes of time spent on learning, faulty learning pattern, learning difficulties that the child might have.

These issues can be tackled through discussions more transparent interacting with child and scientific approach towards the problem

Prepare your child emotionally,If you see your child feeling anxious or avoiding the subject, try and speak about what they feel about it. Help them to overcome the challenges they feel.

Peer learning, Involve them in cooperative groups during which children will act as a help to each other in solving a solution. Peer learning is very effective and aids in boosting confidence.

Start from the basics: Start from the point where your child finds maths easy and confident of getting it right; b uild up progressively from there
