My Child Has to Win. What Should I Do?

About this episode

Elizabeth Urbanowicz discusses the biblical perspective on competition in children and offers guidance for fostering healthy competition.

What does the Bible say about competition and competitiveness in children? In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz explores how sports, games, and competition can be good gifts from God—and how those gifts can quickly be twisted by pride, envy, and selfish ambition. She also shares practical guidance for helping children compete in healthy, God-honoring ways, especially when one child is less skilled and struggles to keep up.
