"My daughter cried all night after not winning a prize in her last competition..."

"Is spending thousands on competition fees every month really worth it?"

"I don't want my child to become a 'competition machine'..."

I hear these words every day.

Having taught music for 15 years and guided over 300 students through competitions,

I can tell you with certainty:

*The greatest value of competitions is never the certificate.*

Last month, I interviewed 100 parents whose children had won competition awards.

They unanimously agreed that the biggest changes they saw in their children were:

✅ *"Now they don't shake during exams"* (Stress resistance ↑300%)

✅ *"They know how to set their own practice schedule"* (Self-discipline ↑250%)

✅ *"They dare to raise their hand and answer questions in school"* (Self-confidence ↑400%)

What moved me the most was the story of a student who was once extremely introverted.

After participating in just 3 competitions,

they actively joined the school debate team

and even won the Best Debater award.

Their mother said:

*"What competitions taught them wasn't how to win, but how not to fear losing."*

If you are also wondering:

*Should I let my child enter competitions?*

*How can we prepare without causing excessive pressure?*

*Which competitions in Hong Kong are truly valuable?*

I have compiled a guide:

*《The Hong Kong Parent's Competition Guide: A Complete Strategy from Selection to Preparation》*

Comment "*Competition Guide*" and I will DM you the complete guide.
