? ? ? ? Nowadays? in? this? modern? society,? the? younger? generation? are? facing? increasingly? fierce? competition? in? almost? every? aspect? of? life,? which? brings? most? parents,? if? not? all,? tremendous? pressure? and? deep? fear? that? their? children? may? be? left? behind? and? be? kicked? out? of? the? flow? of? competition? in? the? near? future.? Consequently,? many? parents? are? laying? ceaseless? emphasis? upon? competitive? success? when? their? children? are? quite? young,? injecting? the? idea? with? their? children? that? being? NO.1? is? all? that? matters,? blindly? regarding? it? as? a? lifetime? guarantee? of? their? happy? life.
? ? I? do? not? deny? that? great? competitiveness? can,? up? to? a? certain? point,? make? those? children’? future? life? much? easier? and? happier,? but? is? it? really? rational? to? instill? the? sense? of? competition? into? children? in? their? childhood,? at? an? age? when? they? do? not? even? know? what? competitiveness? is? I? think? it? is? not.? On? the? contrary,? it? will? bring? great? damage? to? children,? socially,? psychologically? and? physically.
? ? ? ? ? To? start? with,? too? much? emphasis? upon? competition? will? impair? the? cooperative? competency? of? a? child.
? ? ? It? seems? that,? in? contemporary? society,? all? the? activities,? including? some? unimportant? games,? that? children? participate? in? are? centered? on? competitive? success,? and? therefore? almost? from? kindergarten? to? college? life,? they’ve? been? required? to? be? more? excellent? than? their? peers.? With? this? undue? cultivation? of? the? will? to? win,? the? generally-received? competitive? conception? deep-rooted? in? those? children’? subconsciousness? will? to? a? large? degree? shape? their? values,? in? regard? to? which? life? is? not? a? journey? where? you? can? enjoy? the? beautiful? scenery? alongside? the? road,? but? a? race? in? which? respect? is? only? bestowed? to? the? victor.? Cooperative? competency? is,? however,? largely? based? on? a? character? of? kindness,? tolerance? and? compromise,? which? those? children? barely? possess,? provided? that? they? have? been? instilled? the? sense? of? competition? since? at? their? mothers’? knees.? This? deep-seated? competitive? conception? gives? rise? to? those? children? being? unable? to? build? a? healthy? relationship? with? his? partners? when? growing? up.
? ? ? Secondly,? the? competitive? habit? of? the? mind? will? breed? psychological? morbidity.?
? ? ? ? ? For? example,? having? been? constantly? taught? to? be? competitive,? a? pupil? in? primary? school,? habitually? being? more? inclined? to? demonstrate? an? obstinate? desire? to? win,? in? order? to? be? elected? as? the? monitor? of? his? class,? will? be? over-cautious? about? everything? that? might? threaten? his? possibility.? He? will? sit? straight? up,? and? dare? not? move? at? all,? even? with? a? mosquito? stinging? his? face,? for? fear? that? he? should? make? an? unfavorable? impression? on? his? teacher? or? his? classmates? who? happen? to? hold? a? vote.? This? instance,? which? is? by? no? means? uncommon,? implies? that? those? children? who? have? an? adamant? desire? to? win? will? have? an? absurdly? good? adaptation? to? any? given? standard,? without? the? consideration? of? their? own? instincts? and? passions.? Once? their? self-constraint? reach? the? limit,? they? will? be? brought? to? the? verge? of? collapse,? getting? out? of? control? and? going? to? extremes.? There? are? no? shortage? of? examples? supporting? this? theory,? like? students? jumping? from? a? high? building? after? failing? to? get? a? high? score? in? Gaokao,? or? one? killing? his? fellow? students? in? order? to? get? scholarship.
? ? ? ? The? third? bad? effect? is? that? endless? emphasis? on? the? sense? of? competition,? too? much? reminding? of? being? superior? to? their? peers? will? do? harm? to? children’? physical? health? as? well.
? ? ? After? a? long? time? of? stressing? competition? on? children,? it? will? almost? produce? nervous? fatigue,? unendurable? anxiety,? various? phenomena? of? escape,? and? lack? of? energy? in? doing? anything.? Many? scientific? statistics? have? showcased? that? continuous? pressure? and? nervousness? will? emotionally? accumulate? toxin? in? children’? bodies? and? weaken? their? immune? system,? and? as? the? toxin? reaches? a? certain? point,? it? will? bring? irreparable? damage? to? their? physical? health,? including? in? losing? appetite,? stunting? the? development? of? their? height? and? bones,? or? causing? skin? diseases.
? ? There’s? nothing? to? blame? for? expecting? a? better? future? for? their? children,? but? childhood? is? a? period? of? time? for? children? to? accumulate? knowledge? inwardly? rather? than? compete? against? others? outwardly? as? well? as? aggressively;? it? is? a? period of time? to? build? a? developmental? character,? as? opposed? to? being? blindly? injected? the? idea? of? competition,? otherwise? those? parents? with? seemingly? considerable? foresight? may? just? be? putting? the? cart? before? the? horse.
? ? ? To? "逼" or not to "逼" in children's childhood? That's a question.
