My Kids Hate Math

I cannot force my children to love math, but I always tell them that everyday they use math without being aware of it, such as for managing their time, calculating their money, memorizing phone numbers, estimating weight, and so on. However, I inform them, too, that careers in the future are all not math-intensive, such as career in psychology, music, law, politics, etc. That doesn’t mean that there is no math at all in those fields; therefore, I told my kids that they have to master at least basic math for practice in the real world.

  1. I have similar problem with yours. When my children asked for schools that do not teach math, I explain them that math is important in our life, that’s why they have to learn it.
