Parents and teachers should prioritize subtraction practice alongside normal addition and subtraction for children aged 4-5, as it lays a crucial foundation for mathematical understanding. At this age, children are developing core cognitive skills essential for future learning. Engaging in subtraction activities helps them grasp the concept of "taking away," which is equally fundamental as adding.

Subtraction fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills by encouraging children to visualize scenarios and manipulate numbers. By mastering both addition and subtraction, children become more confident in handling various mathematical challenges. Furthermore, developing fluency in these operations enhances their ability to understand word problems, which is pivotal as they advance in their education.

Incorporating fun and engaging activities, such as games and hands-on manipulatives, makes subtraction practice enjoyable and effective. This playful approach not only keeps children motivated but also helps them associate positivity with math. Ultimately, reinforcement of these early math skills aids in better mathematical competence, laying a solid groundwork for their academic journey. Hence, early subtraction practice is essential for fostering a well-rounded, confident, and enthusiastic learner capable of tackling more complex arithmetic in the future.
