In the Basement: 046 with CONOR SCHMUTZ

As parents, we’re always seeking the best ways to give our children a competitive edge in learning. But what if there was a proven method that could supercharge their brainpower? Studies show that children who learn abacus can improve memory retention by 200% and perform mental calculations four times faster than their peers.

Questions Parents Should Ask Before Choosing an Abacus Class

Have you ever had a chance to witness a toddler learn how to walk? They stumble, fall, get up, and try again. And again. And again. Fast forward a few weeks, and they’re racing through the living room like tiny Olympians. What’s the secret? Practice. Consistent, fearless, messy, determined practice. And guess what? That same magic works when kids start learning new things, be it riding a bike or solving a tricky math problem.

How Consistent Practice Helps Raise Confident Kids
