This

essay will discuss both these views and will give a clear opinion on the same. Personally, I believe it is imperative that we impart a

sense

of

competition

in our children. In these stressful times where we have unemployment on the rise, a

sense

of

competition

of being the best, will certainly help the

child

achieve more in life. It is

this

zest of being the best which pushes him to never give up. By instilling

such

a mental attitude, the

child

can go a long

way

ahead in his life.

This

frame of mind will not only help him in his childhood but

also

in his adulthood. Parenting in

such

a

way

is commonly known as ‘Tiger Parenting’.

Such

kind of parenting has serious detrimental effects on the

child

needs to be taught to children to help them succeed in life.
