turnerc14 Sep 29 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A8a: It is good for kids to learn resilience early and competitions are wonderful teachers, but it does depend on the child. #MOgtchat

A8: Depends. Some need to learn to build confidence. Others need to learn that winning isn't everything. #mogtchat

jweissman3 Sep 29 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A8: Many Ss love competition, but a "We're all in this together" atmosphere is important too. Build solutions together. #mogtchat
