[quote=Anonymous]My 1st grade DS is a sensitive and sweet guy. He is also has a competitive streak and a little anxiety. He loves playing team sports but has a really hard time losing. At home we emphasize having fun, working on skills and trying hard. We are not crazy sports parents that emphasize winning. However, he cries everytime his team loses...and neither his basketball team nor his soccer team this year won a single game...so a lot of tears. We are working on this with him but want to know if this is in the realm of normal for a 1st grader. He tries so hard and is actually pretty good but he's had the bad luck of being on pretty bad teams this year. He goes back and forth between blaming himself ("I played terribly") and blaming himself. He definitely wants to keep playing but the poor kid would like to have the experience of winning once in a while. Anyway...normal or no?[/quote]
