Some argue that inherent competitiveness should be nurtured as it drives children to excel children, others emphasize the importance of teaching children to cooperate in order to become more useful adults. In my opinion, balancing healthy competition with a willingness to cooperate with children, as helps children to have a comprehensive development.
On one side of this argument, children should be incentivized to foster a sense of competition as this reaches out their full potential and strives for excellence. This can be explained that joining competitions assists them work hard to achieve their aim and building confidence in children, leading to an improvement in task achievement. For example, later in life, confidence will help them to prepare for a job interview, or in work environments.
Despite this view, some people believe that cooperation will be more beneficial for children in the future. Cooperation will educate children to be better at dealing with real situations, as it allows children to understand and adjust to the requirements of others when working in a team. Consequently, collaborative skill helps children to have good relationships with their colleagues and brings wonderful outcomes for a team such as fostering a sense of sharing, exchanging ideas, and respecting each other’s.
While it is argued that children should be encouraged to boost their competitive instincts, others emphasize the importance of teaching cooperation as a crucial skill for their adulthood. From my perspective, a combination of educating children to balance healthy competition with a strong willingness to cooperate will help children to have a comprehensive development.
In conclusion, attending competitions or being taught about cooperation are both important for children to be successful person in the future.
