Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Please remember your son is just 4 years. At this age, numerical ability will be at the developmental platform. Reasoning abilities develop only after 7. But training can alter the way things go. Also note that at this children learn when they play. Don't make them sit in front of books continuously more than 30 minutes. Let them play then you teach. Use of abacus methods. building blocks with numbers etc can help you immensely.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
