The Answer is in Your Hands

Not too long ago, my four-year-old daughter Arianna was struggling with a simple math problem in pre-kindergarten.

To help her with the concept of addition, I formulated the problem in a different way and asked her, “If you hold three apples on one hand and four apples on the other hand, how many apples do you hold in total?”

​Without hesitation, she replied, “Two!”

Trying to keep calm, I put on a sweet smile and asked her, “And why is that, honey?”

“My hands are too tiny. I can only hold one apple per hand!”

At A Chance In Life, we too have a problem to solve and I would like to ask you to be part of the solution. Please read carefully …

P.S. Do you have any suggestions on how to explain to Arianna that the answer is “seven apples” without hurting her feelings? Forget about it … I’ll just eat the other five apples. Anyway … an apple a day …
