Kids Should Learn to Enjoy Competition
I hope my nephew’s attitude towards summer camping activities improve this year. There was an incident with him last year, where the counsellors found him curled up under his town road twin quilt with sham, apparently crying over the fact that he lost at a game with the other kids. The counsellors all tried to appease him but then they had to call his mother afterwards because he just wouldn’t get up from the bed.
Hopefully, he has already matured this time around and learn to enjoy the game more than see it as an actual competition. He’s the kind of child that’s too focused on the process of competing. Perhaps he is going to grow up a perfectionist or someone really hard on himself, which is good it pushes him to excel. However, there is a downside to this as you can see, because he always ends up frustrated and unhappy. I feel that he isn’t really learning anything positive from being a tough competitor.
A lot of this has also something to do with the influence of the parents. If only, they also do not ask or demand a lot from the child, then maybe he can appreciate and enjoy competition once in a while.
