Instead of seeing a mistake as a failure, our students learn to see it as a minor mechanical error that can be corrected with a simple movement of the beads.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">Over twenty-one years of mentoring thousands of children, we have found that the greatest gift we give our students isn&#8217;t just the ability to count\u2014it is the unshakable belief in their own mental power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moving from &#8220;I Can&#8217;t&#8221; to &#8220;I Can&#8221; Through Arithmetic Mastery One of the most profound transformations a child can undergo is the shift from fearing a subject to feeling in total control of it.
