[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is one of the "stars" of his soccer team and so he takes it really personally if they don't win, like it's his fault. I've found that arguing with him about it is useless -- I just remind him that it's a team sport, he can't be everywhere on the field at once, and he's not perfect, nor is he expected to be. Then I take him out for the treat of his choice. A big bowl of ice cream and sympathy from mom seems to fix things pretty quickly.[/quote] :shock: No wonder he continues to get upset after his team loses -- he's learned that if he acts upset, he gets a treat![/quote] Some people's kids aren't manipulative little psychos, PP. I can tell when his upset is genuine and when it's an act.[/quote]
