@emimoron - Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

The word competition brings a lot of different emotions for different people. Some revel in "destroying" others. Some falsely identify themselves as "losers" because of how they have been treated.

I see your concern with the idea of competition. But as you mentioned, competition is a historic reality. My hope is that my kiddos see how to engage in competition in a healthy way (as it appears that will not be able to avoid it completely). That will be challenging, but I hope it is a lesson my kiddos learn as they "develop according to 'their' own rhythm and style."

Again, thanks for stopping by and sharing.
