Special to the Ledger deal with both winning new skills and be will- Experts advise that from the American Counseling Association Competition is a fact of life, especially for children. It may include anything from who did best on the spelling test, to organized sports in or out of school. And while competition can bring stress about doing well, or disappointment when efforts come up short, healthy competi tion is actually a good thing for children. Child development experts advise that healthy competition helps children develop skills needed in adult hood. They learn to take turns, to work hard for success, perhaps to be a team player, and how to and losing. It’s important for par ents to help guide their children in handling competitive experi ences. The first question shouldn’t be, “Did you win?” but rather, “Did you have a good time?” When parents always emphasize winning and coming out on top they are increasing the pressure that makes competition a negative experience. Is your son or daugh ter involved in healthy competition? If so, you’ll find the child asking to participate in the activity again and being able to win or lose gracefully.

Simply participating will be appealing, re gardless of the outcome. However, when competition is proving unhealthy for a child you will see different attitudes and behaviors. The child will often not want to participate, or may fake an illness to avoid the activity or simply refuse outright to play. The activity may promote anxiety resulting in difficulty sleeping or eating, or cause worry that affects other areas of the child’s life. So how does a parent encourage healthy com petition? One starting point is to model good behavior. In sports, don’t blame the coach or referees for a losing out come, but instead praise the child for the effort put forth, regardless of the outcome. one key to healthy competition is to show your children that the most important competi tor is themselves. Did the child learn some new skills? Did he or she do better in their performance this time compared to past times? Praising the children’s improvements moves the focus to their efforts, not the competitive out come, and helps build confidence and self esteem. Emphasize the fun in the experience of par ticipating, not in simply winning, and you’ll have a child who is getting the most from competi tive experiences. “Counseling Cor ner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

Dave Says Special to the Ledger By Dave Ramsey (Play it smart) Dear Dave, Recently, the garage where I worked for a long time went out of business. I have a lot of my own tools, and I was thinking about taking out a loan of around $20,000 to buy a few extra tools I need to open my own garage. It’s always been a dream of mine to have my own shop, and this seems like the perfect opportunity. What do you think? Rick Dear Rick, I love it when a person has the talent and drive to open their own busi ness, but right now you’re unemployed and looking at going into debt. That’s a bad idea. You’ll never hear me recommend going into debt to start a business. Did you know most new businesses fail within the first five years due to debt payments? I liter ally started my company on a card table in my own living room years ago, so I know for a fact you can launch a busi ness without going into debt. You said you have your own tools, plus you have lots of experience. My advice is to find a place that needs a good mechanic. Then, use the income from a new job to save up for the ad ditional tools you need, and other startup costs associated with opening your own shop. If you play this smart and start slow, you could have a thriving business on your hands in a few years and no debt to eat up the money you make! —Dave (Get off the account today!) Dear Dave, I opened a credit card account with a boyfriend several months ago in both of our names. We’re no longer dating, and I was wondering if I can get my name off the ac count. Melody Dear Melody, Yes, you can. Call the credit card company right now, and tell them to take your name off the account immediately. Find out if there’s a bal ance on the card. If there is, and it was charged up while your name was on the account, you’ll still be liable for that amount. They won’t release you from responsibility for those purchases, but you can get off the hook for any future charges. Then, send them a certified letter—return receipt requested—stat ing that you are no longer liable for ad ditional charges on the See Dave, page 4C Dave Ramsey Happy Birthday To: March 14: Heather Studd, Louise Germany, Mau reen Brooks, John Woodard, Melissa Miller, David Arnold, Keith Abney, Michelle Casey, Melissa Casey, Dendy Cromer, Angelyn Wimbush, Angie Robison, Jimmy Norman; March 15: Dylan Jarrell, Kaitynn M.
