[quote=Anonymous]Why do so many parents casually say, "I was never good at math" in front of their elementary-aged children, often before the child has even had a real chance to give math education an earnest attempt? Doesn’t that send the message that struggling with math is expected or even acceptable, lowering the bar before the formal math learning even begins? Contrast that with sports: I’ve rarely or never heard a parent dropping their kid off at soccer practice say, “I was terrible at soccer.” Instead, it’s always, “You’ve got this!” or “Go give it your best!” Why such a stark difference in parenting mindset when it comes to math versus sports?
