How it work
90% of a child’s brain develops by the time they’re 5-6 years old. The child’s prime time for brain development occurs between the age of 3 – 6 years old where their brain develops faster and build the neural circuits that will be the foundation for later development before selectively pruned in their teenage years.
It is beneficial for the child to start learning Abacus between 4-6 years old as these are positive experiences that are crucial in helping the brain develop and build a strong foundation for other skills that the child may need in school and at later stages in life. Each newly acquired skill is best supported by a good foundation.
