I consider competition as valuable because I consider losing a valuable lesson to learn. Not everything in this world can be cooperative. There are points in everyone's life, no matter how hard you try, where someone will "win" and someone will "lose". By starting the lessons early, with trivial things like musical chairs, that losing an individual competition is NOT important, then they are prepared for the inevitable situations in life when someone else is rewarded and they are not.
