Washington D.C. [USA], Nov. 23 : A mother's support helps their children develop better math skills.

A study has found that young children whose mothers supported them during play, specifically in their labeling of object quantities, had better math achievement at ages 4-½ and 5 years.

The study, conducted by researchers at Boston College, is published in the journal Child Development.

Early math knowledge is as important as early literacy for children's subsequent achievement. It can also predict later school success, income in adulthood.

The researchers developed ways to assess mothers' support of their children's math skills by examining how moms supported and guided their 3-year-olds' learning as they played with a toy cash register and blocks.
