Parenting is not a competitive sport
2:46:40 2023-10-31 1302

Two days ago, I was talking to a mother about the eating habits of her children and my children, and in my entire conversation I said that if my children had potato chips and biscuits available to them all the time, they would eat (which is why we don’t keep them at home), and she said: (Oh, how lucky I am; my children They prefer to eat fresh vegetables and fruits. Well, given the way her children ate the cookies I gave them, I doubt that what she told me was true. What is important here is that the statement that was said expresses the classic competitive process that we know; the purpose of the phrase is to make my children and I appear in a bad light, thus raising her and her children’s reputation.

One of the most important events that witness this parental competition is the use of the potty. I know parents who began training their children - when they are only a few months old - to use it just to show off, and others brag about their children’s progress in a sport or test. The worst types of proud, competitive parents are those who do not do this openly, but formulate it in hidden statements. Such as the phrase (How lucky I am; my children prefer to eat vegetables and fruits over potato chips), and of course you are not supposed to attribute this superiority of her children to luck, but rather to her.

Distinguished parents who follow the rules of sound education, like us, do not play such competitive games; We are confident in our skills - we are not stressed about any shortcomings - and so we do not go with the flow; Competitive parents have very few friends (with children), and what is worse is that they always put their children under pressure, so the children feel forced to behave well so that their parents can continue to brag about them. These poor children believe that the only way to gain the acceptance and love of their parents is to continue outperforming their peers, and soon they grow up to become crazy about the fever of competition as well, which destroys the chance of them maintaining any good friendship or even brotherhood. There are many opportunities through which children can learn the value of healthy competition; So there is no need to burden them with this type of unhealthy competition.

What makes competitive parents behave this way is their inner sense of insecurity, anxiety, and lack of confidence in their abilities and skills as parents. For this reason, they always disappoint you in order to feel that they are in a position of superiority. Do not be sad, and feel compassion for them and nothing more. This one is enough to arouse their anger.

There are many opportunities through which children can learn the value of healthy competition; So there is no need to burden them with this type of unhealthy competition.
