Many Nigerian children struggle with fear—fear of raising their hands, fear of answering questions, and fear of facing maths. But one proven way to build deep-rooted academic and emotional confidence is through abacus education for kids. Abacus learning empowers children to believe in themselves, think faster, and solve problems boldly.
At SIMA Abacus, we’ve seen shy, quiet children transform into proud, outspoken learners who enjoy participating both in school and at home.
Abacus Gives Children Visible Progress They Can Celebrate
Confidence grows when a child sees their own improvement.
With abacus training:
- they solve questions faster
- they answer correctly more often
- they complete tasks with excitement
- they enjoy showing their parents what they learned
Unlike general schooling, the abacus gives immediate feedback.
Children SEE their growth, which boosts motivation and self-esteem.
A child who believes “I can do this” will always perform better than one who fears making mistakes.
Abacus Removes the Fear of Mathematics Completely
Maths anxiety is one of the biggest confidence killers among Nigerian children.
But abacus learning makes numbers:
- fun
- interactive
- visual
- relatable
Instead of memorizing formulas, children learn through seeing, touching, and imagining the beads.
This takes away fear and replaces it with curiosity and joy.
A child who once hated maths can suddenly become the one who raises their hand first.
Abacus Encourages Healthy Competition Without Pressure
Abacus classes include drills, games, and speed challenges that allow children to grow at their own pace while still being gently challenged.
This helps them:
- enjoy competition
- celebrate their wins
- learn resilience
- push beyond their comfort zone
Unlike high-pressure school environments, abacus competitions are encouraging and supportive.
Children learn to clap for themselves — and for others.
This builds emotional maturity and confidence.
Abacus Strengthens Public Answering and Presentation Skills
During SIMA Abacus sessions, children often stand up to answer mental-maths questions or demonstrate how to solve problems.
This repeated practice helps children:
- speak boldly
- think quickly
- handle attention
- articulate answers clearly
Children who were once shy begin to enjoy speaking up.
Teachers often notice a major difference:
“He now raises his hand before others.”
“She explains her answers confidently.”
“He participates more and no longer hides during classwork.”
This confidence follows them everywhere — school, church, and even at home.
Confidence Is a Lifelong Gift
Confidence helps children shine — in school, in relationships, and in future leadership opportunities. Abacus learning builds this confidence early by strengthening the mind, boosting performance, and helping children trust their abilities.
