[quote=Anonymous]I’m dealing with this with my two kids (3 & 5) who compete at just about everything. I generally don’t tip the scales to favor one over the other but I will make adjustments as needed. Mostly, we have discussions about being a good sport. Being happy or sad is ok, but we have to be good sports which means no taunting or gloating from the winner and no whining or tantrums from the loser. We also talk a lot about how life isn’t fair and it’s more important to have fun than to win. Obviously, this is all a work in progress. My 3-year-old beat the 5-year-old to the garage door today and there was much pouting. [/quote]
