You'll be suprised at how your own competitive nature rises up when its your kid out there doing it. Just try to remember that you're the adult.

My father competes with me about everything, every conversation, you name it... I can't get a handle on it. I don't do it to him, not my personality. I don't know why or what to do. Not the same thing... but weird.
