[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's ALWAYS about winning. I have very competitive boys. No matter how much their travel coaches or their parents tell them 'winning' doesn't matter---IT MATTERS TO THEM. Who wants to lose? It sucks.[/quote] Honestly- it sounds like you're enabling them to make it ALWAYS about winning. Of course some kids are more competitive than others and that's not a bad thing. But losing doesn't have to suck. Winning is definitely more fun than losing. But if your boys are taking it to an extreme- and there's a reason you used ALL CAPS twice- then you may want to consider taking steps to help them deal with losing and playing just for the fun of it. They are children, you are the parent, and part of our job is to help teach our values, right? [/quote]
