Teaching Healthy Competition
Healthy competition is essential for children as it helps them navigate both winning and losing emotionally. Strategies must be employed to normalize losing by validating children's feelings and emphasizing that these experiences are common for everyone, including parents. Parents can help children by reassuring them that losing is not the end, but a stepping stone to future opportunities for improvement. By creating an environment focused on fun and effort rather than just the outcome, children learn to appreciate the process rather than just the result.
