[quote=Anonymous]Embrace his competitive side. It's a great personality trait. You might try role playing at home. Throw a pretend temper tantrum over something that isn't fair and then explain that it is similar to what happens all the time in life and throwing a temper tantrum isn't the way to solve the problem. I have done it with my kids when they persist in getting upset over something (my eldest would throw a massive temper tantrum if he got a drop of water on his clothes or a bit of cookie broke off before he could eat it) and they always find it funny to have me imitating them having a melt down. They also realize how ridiculous it looks and stop doing it. [/quote]
