[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to get more specific in your instruction of what a poor loser is. Granted, my DD is 5, so 2 years younger than your DS, but before a game, during a game, and after a game, we go over, "And if you lose a game, do you make yucky faces?" ("NO!!!!") "And, do you say yucky words?" ("NO!!!!") "Do you may grumpy sounds?" ("NOO!!") "And why not?" ("Because it's just a game.") (And why else?) "Because we are friends.") And what do you say at the end of the game, if you win or if you lose?" ("Good game.") "That's right, we say, 'Good game,' b/c it was a fun game and it's just about having fun." Again, I realize your son is older than this so maybe you can adjust this to a bit older point of view, but my DD just turned 5, and this is what we've been doign with her for, oh, I guess about a year now now, and she pretty much gets it. Good luck. I think teaching good sportsmanship is very important.[/quote]
