Let's start with parents who want to talk about the terrible 2's. Will be the 2's so "terrible" or are we pre-programmed to consider so? And should we pass this onto our little ones in order that they start to learn that some numbers are not-so-good??? Only then do we contain the amorphous "someone" who tells us that arithmetic is difficult. I don't know who started this myth but it's a myth. Worse - we tell children that arithmetic is more difficult for girls compared to boys! So those numbers learn to go into the hate category. We like to turning 13! We have been teenagers! And very quickly we can easily drive! We desire to get good grades in class as well as on the tests that "matter." When the numbers usually are not what we should were hoping or expecting we obtain sad or perhaps depressed. Yet few of us wonder if those test numbers mean anything in real life outside school.
