Competition shouldn’t be encouraged between siblings.
It is a natural drive between humans, but when you promote it between siblings, you will find them fighting for your attention.
Providing a natural environment for competition, such as sports and art contests, will give the kids an outlet where they can compete while still encouraging one another.
The occasional race to the end of the block, and who can finish the chores first competitiveness can be a fun part of child’s play that they will often begin on their own.
It should be the kids initiating this competitive play within the home, helping you to remain a cheerleader for all your children.
