[quote=Anonymous]Curious to hear how you dealt with letting your children win, both when they were young and as they got older. DS, who is 4, loves to "race" and mostly we let him win. He started bragging the other day that he was faster than I was, and I told him that he would be faster than I was when he was older, but that I was still faster. He challenged me to a race and I beat him. He sobbed for like 5 minutes. Similarly, my husband barely edged him out in a race recently, and more tears. I don't want to crush him. He's young. But, I don't want a braggart or a kid who thinks he's awesome at everything. And, I want him to be a good sport. Would love to hear how others approached this.[/quote]
