Parents Can Aid Child Who Isn't Competitive If your child balks at joining in contests or sports, he or she •nay not like competition. Dr. Cynthia Bishop, extension human development specialist North Carolina State Unhcrsity, says not everyone is competitive. Parents need to recognize each child's level of competition and then help the child to be comfortable at that level, she believes. A less competitive child can be involved in many ways. The youngster may work best in a group—following the leaders. Or a special interest club may satisfy this need. If your son or daughter is competitive, recognize it and help the child set realistic goals. Dr. Bishop suggests. Communities have lots of outlets for competitive persons. You might encourage your child to run for a school office or join the basketball team, depending on his interests. Whether your child is a competitor or a follower, don't turn everything into a contest. Dr. Bishop advises. Children also need to have fun without the fear of losing. * So put less emphasis on winning, the specialist recommends. Then the failure to win won't necessarily mean "being a loser." Three percent of all the energy used in the United State* goes to heating water, so it might be energy-wise to wash your clothes in cold or warm water and rinse them in cold.
