Children sometimes get too competitive. They will turn games into contests and always try to come out first. Children need to be encouraged to have fun in their games and play with other children. When a child is too competitive, other children won't want to play with him or her. Teaching Cooperation Children have to learn how to cooperate, it doesn't just happen naturally.
Adults can be an important source of help in teaching children how to cooperate.
A first step in helping children learn to cooperate is to pick out situations where the child has difficulty. The second step could be to talk about the child's behavior in the situation. If you can notice problems such as bossing others around or always trying to win, discuss this with the child. Try to get the children to imagine how they would feel if others were bossy or always trying to win. You could point out that other children will enjoy playing with them more if they are less bossy or competitive.
