Children enjoy competition and rewards.
Some people would have us believe that competition is bad and that everyone should get to play no matter what his or her skill level is. I personal do not buy into that philosophy. I do believe that God created each one of us as a special human being and that we must accept the limits that God, Himself has given to each and every one of us. I also beleive that to believe that competition is bad is being unrealistic. Competition itself is not evil, but if it is not done within the context of Christian maturity and values then it can and usually does become prideful and evil.
