Learning Abacus isn’t just about improving math skills—it enhances memory, concentration, and logical thinking in children. While teachers provide structured training, parental support at home plays a crucial role in reinforcing these skills.

Here’s a step-by-step guide for parents to help their child excel in Abacus learning.

1. Create a Positive Learning Environment

✔ Designate a Study Space

• A quiet, well-lit area with minimal distractions

• Keep an Abacus tool, notebook, and pencils ready

✔ Set a Consistent Practice Schedule

• 10-15 minutes daily is more effective than long, irregular sessions

• Best times: Morning (before school) or evening (after homework)

2. Learn Basic Abacus Concepts (For Parents)

You don’t need to be an expert, but understanding the basics helps!

📌 Real-Life Applications

❌ Avoid Common Mistakes

• Don’t rush – Let the child learn at their own pace
