Child Behavior: Kids Who Hate to Lose
My child loves to play games—board games, card games and sports—but she hates to lose. How can we deal with her competitiveness?
Applaud her competitive nature, but explain to her very specifically about the pros and cons of being a strong competitor. List them so she can see it in black and white.
You asked "How can we deal with this?" Remember that this situation is all about your daughter and her development into a contributing member of society as a well rounded adult. A competitive nature will serve her well if she listens to the good advice of her parents and learns to apply appropriate behaviors around this part of her character.
