Life Kit podcast: maths anxiety and parenting

Many parents are confident to support their children in skills like reading, but grow cold at the thought of helping with maths homework. Maths anxiety is such a common issue that the writers from Sesame Workshop created a story about it.

In this podcast, the hosts of NPR's Life Kit discuss strategies that maths-anxious parents can try, and look at everyday ways to put this advice into practice.

And the Sesame Workshop writers explain how, by letting The Count make a maths mistake, they could show children how to overcome their own fears and have fun with maths.
