In some cultures, children are encouraged to compete against each other what are the advantages and disadvantages of this approach.

Healthy competition among children is beneficial on the contrary overemphasis on competing with each other could be harmful to the holistic development of children. I think parents should follow a balanced point of view while encouraging competition among children. If we see the positive aspect of competition, it is key to be better. Children improve their study habits by imitating their peers. They try to be good in sports when the competition will urge them. Moreover, a recent study indicates that there is a direct correlation between competition and motivation. Students find themselves more motivated when they learn in an institution, where healthy competition among pupil is motivated. If we closely observe the adverse effect of competition it is a vivid fact that competition creates tension and in extreme cases' depression. These problems lead children to psychological problems and decrease their learning ability. Student's memory does not work at the optimal level in an intense competition. Strict competition deprived students to find their natural interests and aptitude. Consequently, if we carefully sum up our discussion we can conclude that competition is positive in a sense but when it reaches an insane level it could be more harmful than productive.
