Parenting and Parents: How to raise confident kids by tackling maths anxiety early

Kgomotso Modise, standing in for Relebogile Mabotja, speaks with Dr Belinda Huntley a mathematics teacher and member of the Problem Committee for the South African Mathematics Challenge (SAMC) for Grades 4–7. Together, they explore how to raise confident children who embrace numbers rather than fear them. The conversation unpacks the early signs of maths anxiety and offers practical ways parents can step in early, preventing that fear from becoming a lasting barrier. 702 Afternoons with Relebogile Mabotja is broadcast live on Johannesburg based talk radio station 702 every weekday afternoon.
