do you let your children win ?
Published Jul. 9, 2009Views: 200
So now we are in this new phase of games with my kids. I've been doing alot of matching and memory games. My son lost the other day and he said im a winner. I was like at this game today you lost but you are still a good boy and you tried your best !
OH LAWD, he didn't like that one bit. My daughter will just be like OH man and slap her knee if she loses.
So my question to you parents or care givers or anything that plays with kids, do you let your kid win on purpose ? Do you tell them they are a winner even if they lost ?
I think its important to teach that there are winners and losers BUT IF YOU did everything in your power to do a good job you still get a high five or a atta boy !
Because NOT EVERYONE CAN WIN

There are other games you can play with a young child where the outcome is pretty much up to chance, like Chutes and Ladders. They can have the fun of winning without feeling like they got something they didn't earn.

It is quite detrimental to their development to do so.
