Your Child May Not Hate Math: They May Be Anxious About It (with Dr. Aditya Nagrath) Ep. 145.

What if your child’s struggles with math aren’t about ability—but about math anxiety, confidence, and the way they experience learning?

In this episode of the Masterful Parenting Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Aditya Nagrath, mathematician, software engineer, entrepreneur, and founder of Elephant Learning Mathematics Academy.

Dr. Nagrath has dedicated his work to helping children overcome mathematics anxiety and discover that they are capable of far more than they may believe. With a PhD in Mathematics & Computer Sciences and more than 30 years of experience in technology and entrepreneurship, he has helped more than 160,000 students around the world through Elephant Learning.

We’re talking about something many parents worry about: How do we help our children succeed academically without adding more pressure?

In this conversation, we explore:

🎯 How just 30 minutes a week can potentially make a meaningful difference in a child’s academic path.

🧠 How to recognize early signs of math anxiety and what parents can do to help reverse it.

❤️ Why pushing harder isn't always the answer—and how confidence and connection can change the way a child approaches learning.

📚 Practical ways parents can support their children academically without turning learning into a battle.

✨ And why helping a child believe “I can do this” may be just as important as teaching them the skill itself.

If your child struggles with math, avoids homework, gets frustrated easily, or says things like “I’m just not good at math,” this episode is for you.

Listen to the full episode and discover how we can help our children become more confident, capable, and curious learners—without adding pressure.
