A foolish person lets his anger run wild. But a wise person keeps himself under control.
Proverbs 29:11 (New International Reader’s Version)
I have spent all of my career with six, seven, and eight-year-olds. That is such a wonderful age full of curiosity, learning, and activity. They love to play games, but it’s not always all FUN in the games. Inevitably the game ends and only one child or one team comes out as the winner of the game. No one likes to lose. Learning how to lose gracefully is a skill that must be taught – it does not come naturally to most children. Letting children win all the time is not helpful for them as they learn coping skills for life…and, if you have more than one child, it can get quite tricky! I found the following articles to be full of some good tips regarding how to help our children learn to lose gracefully:
