[quote=Anonymous]I have a son like this. Something that’s been incredibly helpful has been playing a lot of games with him. We play games nightly with him and he has learned how to win, but mostly how to lose. He loses a lot, shakes hands and we talk about how fun it was to just play. It makes him less rigid. Similarly he had trouble telling the truth when it would put him in a bad light. We forced him over and over to tell the truth (and lose basically) and then he saw it really wasn’t as big of a deal as he thought. It’s okay to want to be a perfectionist, but you just can’t be as rigid and you have to be able to be a graceful loser and a graceful winner. [/quote]
