[quote=Anonymous]I think your kid actually just has a really good sense of fairness and is competitive. I play in a competitive sports league and I get annoyed when the other team picks up really good players at the last minute that aren't on the roster. I don't sob about it, but I'm certainly frustrated because it's going against the rules and it's going against good sportsmanship, which is extremely important to me. So I guess my question to you is: How do you want him to react when he's frustrated about something? Figure out how you want him to react, and then teach him. I would definitely NOT go home the minute he starts crying. That's straight up punishment and why would you punish him for crying? He's a little kid and is learning. Just have him sit out until he calms down, and talk to him. Say, "You were sad that X, Y or Z happened." Then listen. Then say, "Next time something like this happens, here's what might help..."
