How do Waldorf schools work with competition?Competition is a natural human trait but has become disproportionately emphasized in today’s fast paced world. Children naturally rank themselves within their social group but Waldorf children also learn to be inclusive of others. One may be admiring of another’s talents and skills and that admiration should develop into an attitude of active emulation rather than becoming divisive jealousy. Every person has something to offer others and from which we all can learn, By encouraging a healthy balance between cooperation and competition, we can create an environment which honors every child and is beneficial to all.
