And the winner is......Competition among the students

 Competition the most difficult task or the unwanted task that comes into the life of students . And it is also an essential element in every student's life . At one pace of life competition becomes a necessary for the students because it motivates them to do some hard work and improve themselves . 

Being topper and getting marks against other become the most competitive things among the students . The deepness of education is rising its level with a huge syllabus , projects , and assignments through which their burden , stress, and anxiety increases among the students . One of the best solution is to provide guidance to the child in order to reduce the stress and anxiety among the students. 

There are various advantages of competition like prepare  children for future real life situation , increase the confidence level of the students , learn new skills and development , tries to compete with own self for improvement , and many more . Also there are few disadvantages of competition such as Too much of social pressure , influence depression , reduce enthusiasm among them .

If the teachers or parents motivate the child to do hard work in their life , so through this it increases their interest in the classroom because in today's world we have seen that students easily lose their interest in schools . sometimes been a teacher we observe that sometimes students are present physically in class but mentally they are not . Here we can relate this with healthy competition . you might be wondering how a competition could be healthy ? 

 The healthy competition means learn different skills , new skills techniques and improve ourselves by just competing with ourselves which creates the self - discipline and ethics in students . Here it doesn't mean to be better than someone else. Other then games or activities like writing skills , artistic skills ,but there are few healthy competition which can be added to bring their interest back in classrooms like martial arts , yoga , academics , life skill based competitions are included in healthy competition which excites the students to spark their passion and to create healthy self- image within them . 

The competition is of two types healthy and unhealthy competition .

Healthy competition i.e. students need teamwork and positive participation that means it doesn't mean winning . It's all about fun and leans something new related to life skills . Here the students are encouraged to improve themselves and learn new techniques . If the competition is between group , then the team work is necessary for the achievement and it also effective way to grow friendship between students . 

"Competition is a good thing it forces us to be our best".

Unhealthy competition i.e the students are more focused in winning rather than learning new skills , having fun and  techniques . Here the behavior of students might vary as they start arguing or bully the opposite person or group. All this happens because the parents or teacher expect a lot from their child to win the game or competition . 

There are various benefits of healthy competition :

1. Brings out the skills and talents of students not only related to academic but also related to life lessons , moral values , elements , etc.

2. Healthy relation make the students learn teamwork , positive attitude .

3. Students learn problem solving skills . 

4. Students builds confidence in students . 

5. Here the students became innovative and creative because it always pushes them to do better things. 

To achieve this healthy competition parents role play a very important role . Every child in this world has some or the other talent or skills , so it is not justified to compare them with other children . so the term lose should not be used in front of children as these may impact a lot on their performance .

Not only parents but teachers also should use the positive words so that students feel motivated in class . Because in effective teaching environment play a huge role in it , classroom environment should has to positive so that children feel free to add their point in front of other .   

'Win' and 'lose' are just words , it doesn't matter that you win or lose its all about how you perform or play . henceforth if you win the game , be proud . But when you lose , put more efforts analyse where you went low . Losing is a lesson to the students that how much efforts they have to put in future to improve themselves . After then they need to work harder on this and prepare themselves for next competition . 

The reason behind writing this blog is that still there are many parents who  compare their children with other among their peer group . 

I would like to end up this blog with beautiful quote :

"To be a champion , compete ; to be a great champion , compete with the best ; but to be the greatest champion , compete with yourself". 

If  you compete with others , you may not win . If you compete with yourself , you always win by becoming better". The only person you should compete with is you . 

Hope this helps you to change your mind set .
