Rob: “For kids who say they don’t like math, do you have any tips for parents to encourage their kids?”
Ray: “When it comes to elementary age kids, it’s super important to do a lot of number games and card games with your kids.”

Ray: “I find when I pick up the kids on the way home from work, it is a tough time, since I just want to get home and relax.
Don’t immediately start cooking dinner and doing chores when you get home. Spend some time playing with your kid, first.”
