Experts say it's OK to give your child the winning edge sometimes, but it's more important to teach him that you're proud of the way he played the game. I like it that you were a good sport about that. These are the things that help children have a broader perspective on playing, not just to win, but playing to do a good job and to have fun. Help your child be a good sport by reminding him that there will be a winner and a loser, and let him know what type of behavior you expect. Offer praise - Practice congratulating each other after the game, and sharing a handshake or pat on the back.
Some children continue to have a hard time losing.
