Talking about math has been shown to help. All of this can worry parents, who naturally want their children to do well in school and in life. However, there are things parents can do, even if they don't really like math themselves. Children are naturally curious, and the ideas of math make great games to play. The earlier you start playing math games, and the longer you stay involved in playing such games, the more likely it is that your children will understand math.
Parents can use puzzles made for young children to help introduce fractions.
