Understanding Competitive Drive in Children

Some children exhibit strong competitive tendencies, which can be natural and developmental. Parents may inadvertently encourage competitiveness through their own behaviors. Children may focus on winning as a way to compensate for other feelings, such as changes in family dynamics or attention. It is essential for parents to accept and trust the child's current phase without adding judgments, allowing natural consequences to guide social learning.
