We learn this unfortunate approach at an early age. A third-grade girl (~8 yrs old) in my son’s elementary school class said “No losers!? What’s the point?” when we were brainstorming some non-competitive games to play at the next event day.

We eventually played those games with no losers. Kids, their parents and teachers all had a great time. Imagine, a school event where everyone participated and no one was singled out as the best or the worst. Joy!
