Do you let your kids win? in games inside and outside. How do you handle these things?

Not every game, but if we play several of the same games, I will let him win one. I want him to learn to be a good sport and that you don't have to win to be proud of how you did.

I was like you when Alisha was smaller. It teaches them sometimes we win and sometimes we lose and it is okay to lose.

It depends on the game and the circumstances. I, like Jen, want them to learn to be good sports, but at the same time, I don't want to crush their confidence because they can't beat an adult at a game.

We dont really play games where someone wins or loses.

I let Kyler win the first couple, and then I'll win won.
Although, when he see's that I'm winning... he starts to cheat!! The stinker!!

He is a stinker, but a cute one at that.

Last night, Kate kicked Dh's butt at video games and then she got tired of it and lost. We're trying to teach her that it's not winning or losing, it's doing your personal best and enjoying playing that matters.

Ditto to what Jen said.
And with Austin playing soccer they are still young, we dont tell him if they won or lost unless he asks and usually he doesnt. I want him to have fun playing, not worrying about if they won or not.
