“the false self esteem of letting them win”Although I fundamentally agree with you, this can be a touchy subject; especially as your child gets older..When they are very little, allowing them to win can be quite helpful in getting them involved with play. As they grow older, a wise parent will sense the child’s growing maturity and increase the challenge..Kids do need to realize that winning is not always a given…
