In this sense, it can be a crucial decision whether to encourage competitiveness or put more importance on cooperation in children.<\/p>\n<p>It is good to have some sort of competitiveness to improve oneself and a society in general. If children were encouraged to compete each other, they might study harder to beat competitors and exercise more to win a sport game. This is good, because in this way the performance of all children will improve.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is different option on this. Too much focus on competitiveness can lead to an individual success for a few but a failure as a whole. When children compete each other, they will not share information and will not support others who needs help. Assuming a society filled with adults with high sense of competition, it is easy to imagine a few winners take it all and many will be a loser and a society will end up unhappy in general.<\/p>\n<p>Given these two different ideas, it is depend on us what kind of community we want to create in the future when our children become adults. It might not be a society winner takes it all. Personally, I have seen a lot of children who help and support other and cooperate well with and also highly productive, rather than trying to win over friends or co-workers. I believe what we need to teach to our children is cooperation more than competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Childhood is very important moment in life, because what has been learned in this time actually can create a mind set of an adult.
