What's more important?
Winning?
Or losing?
We often find parents focus so hard on the win, we lose sight of the value of the loss.
We encourage everyone to have sportsmanship as a huge part of family conversations.
To teach your child good sportsmanship and how to handle losing, lead by example, talk about the importance of effort, focus on the process of improvement, teach coping skills, and reinforce positive behaviors.
Be patient, consistent, and positive in your approach, and your child will eventually learn to handle losses with grace and dignity.
