[quote=Anonymous]I am an SLP and I have worked with kids who are extremely competitive in my clinic room. Moms have told me they can't even play games at their house because of that behavior (a boy would upset his sister a lot, for example). The boy was really rude even to adults and would say things like "I beat you every time" and not in a teasing, fun way. He was very unpleasant to be around. The parents didn't teach him how to be a "good" sport. Instead they just stopped playing the games. It's something the parents are or are not doing as well. There was a spirit of meanness underneath these comments he would make and it just made being around him super unpleasant. You could teach your teen to respond with things like "That's nice" or "Oh, cool" but not engage further. And it's a good opportunity to bring up about how when people say and do things like that, it can make others feel really crappy.. and how we should lift others up and not compare our lives to theirs.[/quote]
