[quote=Anonymous]We play at least 1 board game a week with our kids, plus a lot of card games. My kids even can play poker, lol. (They liked yahtzee so much and that taught them about full house/straights). Pretty sure my kids learned their numbers from playing cards :) My 3.5 year old really likes uno but needs a tiny bit of help. She actually always wins too. On play dates, I've played with the kids or I'm nearby while they play and the other kids always cheat! Or say things like "oh well that's my family's rule!". My kids aren't eager to play with others because of it. I love the strategy, skill and most importantly teaching kids how to lose! School basically just reinforces this mentality that everyone is a winner, same with sports. Then when kids are faced with losing things in real life, they can't handle it. One of my kids is a little perfectionist and we've seen a lot of improvement after constant game playing. [/quote]
