We humans love to make comparisons. On the market, we    41   o find the best ones. In the classroom teachers compare their students to the    42   . And parents compare their child to his or her peers to   43   an idea of what is “normal”.

44    , comparisons of any kind come with a sting(刺痛) for everyone. When parents make it clear to anyone that their child is   45   to all other children in all ways, they put their child under   46   . Some children will obey when they are pressured to   47   their parents’ need for perfection; others may   48    , trying to be just like any other kid, or, better still, to be just who they are. In other    49    , parents who compare their child to other children might end up   50    their child is somehow “deficient(有缺点的)” . And, again, they pressure their child to be   51    enough.

A most disturbing   52   of all this comparing is that it pushes children into the destructive world of competition. “In a   53   culture, a child is told that it isn’t enough to be good---he or she must   54   others,” writes Alfie Kohn, a parenting expert.

According to Kohn, research doesn’t   55    the theory that competition brings success. One after another, researchers have concluded that children don’t learn better   56    education is changed into a competitive struggle. Competition prevents a child’s ability   57   not only educationally but socially, too.

So,   58   competition, cooperation! Instead of   59   other people’s children, parents need to pay close attention to their own, learn who they are, discover their interests and talents, and teach them how to cooperate with others. They will need role models to   60    them.
