Abacus after two years: continue, pause or move on — looking for recent parent experiences

Dinesh K

My child has been doing Abacus for about two years and is no longer excited about the classes. Mental maths has improved, but weekends are crowded. Parents who stopped, did you feel they lost anything important?

    Ask the child what part feels hard before adding another class. In our case it was not the subject; it was copying slowly from the board. My spouse had a different view initially, so we tried it for a few weeks before deciding. We noticed this more clearly once we stopped comparing with classmates. We made the change gradually rather than all at once.

      That makes sense. I think consistency is the part we are currently missing. A short trial period helped us decide without committing for the whole year. We are in Noida, so local logistics may be a little different.
