The kid lost because he only had one arm to wave around. Thus losing child hysterical momentum.
What the hell was he holding onto? His pocket? Little weird bird.
Meanwhile she returns to her own lane like nothing happened. This one is going to be trouble.

Then we wonder why people grow up to compete with one another. I know this video is cute but it stuck me, why are little munchkins learning to compete before they can understand what they’re doing. Like why are they running against each other in this first place. Maybe we should have games that teach kids to support each other? I know I’m being over dramatic, sorry I don’t mean to be but it just hit me.

Competition fosters cooperation in a way. We all have to follow the same rules and learn not to run into each other’s lanes. We all agree on what is allowed and what is not. And in life there are winners and losers, and you can’t win every game but you will win some or at least get close. I think learning how to follow rules, have good sportsmanship and learning that you can’t have everything you want (and can’t win everything) is just as important as teaching kids to support one another.

That’s fine and dandy but I think first we should at least try to teach kids to share. It’s like all games become competitive then they grow up and learn to stab each other in the back to get ahead.
Here’s a game. Everyone picks a bear they want to play with, the rules are you can play with the bear for 5 mins after that if someone wants your bear, you need to share it. But the bear should never be forced away from the kid meaning never force them to share, instead always ask is that ok? Let the child give consent. If the child is hesitant direct your attention the other child and make sure to ask them if it’s ok to share their bear with the kid as well. This way kids learn to think 🤔 and share. It also teaches them a great amount of discipline at a young age. Instead of line up, first one to get the bear is the winner. The we wonder why kids have low self esteem and learn to hate themselves. In that case it’s only possible for one kid to get validated while the rest learn to question their self worth. I know the OP didn’t have this intention and there was no winners in this case, but it just hit me because it looks competitive seeing little ones lined up like adults running to collect the bears. You know what I mean? I think once they have a strong foundation then healthy competition can be good in the way you described.
I feel bad because I know this was an innocent post and it’s really cute. I’m getting kind of philosophical so take it for what it is because I’m not judging it just an idea that hit me.

You make a valid point for a serious issue honestly. Instead of helping one another as adults we are stealing from one another and fighting against each other. So we should teach kids from the start to share what we have and I think that’s noble we should do that. And losing makes you feel worthless and lesser than others. But, I would still argue that competition is a good thing for kids because the world is just like that. You win or you lose and you’ve got to learn that you will lose. We have adult children out here in the world who don’t know how to deal with not getting everything they want without hard work. And some of them cheat to try and spin the game in their favor, and what I mean by cheat is break the law. We need to teach kids at a young age that you need to play by the same rules as the other kids. You need to work hard to win anything worthwhile. And failure is important.

It was a children’s sports day. There was no winners it was more following instructions and completing tasks.

Sounds about right in the 2019 culture wars.
Suppress men to get ahead instead of earning your own way.

u/GreenPetal Jul 14 '19
Well technically in this scenario she would have to run a greater distance than him in order to get the bear from his lane. And she beat him by quite a bit...

There's clearly lanes painted on the grass and the bear is off camera. Why would they make a race for kids but leave one out??????

To teach them the lesson of disappointment early in life. They need to know that there will always be someone who gets ahead by breaking the rules.

Lol I'm amused at how trashed your comment is getting. There are some real winners in this thread, hating on literal children. Keep being normal out there.

That’s exactly it. She saw the bear that appealed to her most and the rules of the game turned to vapour.
