The Winning Alternative: Solving the Dilemma of the Win/Lose Syndrome.
Moore, Dorothy L.
Childhood Education, v62 n3 p171-74 Jan-Feb 1986
Suggests alternatives in solving the dilemma of the win/lose syndrome for young children participating in sports, games, and other competitive educational activities. Rather than reinforcing the "negative" aspects of competition ("winning is all," lack of participation, elimination), teachers should provide environments that help children to develop their capabilities.
