As you know the generation gap is often very great and parents need to improve their children’s behavior and performance to fit into the modern world. In this argument, I’m going to discuss about competition and co-operation in the children's life and I will focus more on their study.
Firstly, I’m going to talk about the competition between children as many people like their children to challenge themselves to reach the high goals and grades in school and to obtain a good position. One example is seen when children are playing games; every one of them likes to be the winner like in the adult world or even sibling rivalry between children in families can be seen for the parent’s attention and praise. These reward mechanisms help the child to become ambitious to get more awards in his later life.
However, there are also some people who like their children to be more co-operative in their life and to focus on being a team player. They can study in a group to improve their skills if they are weak in some areas and at the same time they can help others. This sense of social responsibility also allows them to resolve problems easier if they work as one and they can break down any difficult problems.
Finally, in my opinion people have to teach their children to be full competitive and co-operative to be interested in life and success. There are times when both life skills are important such as sports when competitiveness and team work are both required.
