Students in Grade One begin to exhibit more pride in their accomplishments and can display competitiveness. It is not uncommon for six-year-olds to invent new rules for games to give themselves an edge or argue that they are not “out”. This age can also see some bossiness and teasing which is usually related to competition around friendships.
