Do you always let your child win? Even if you think it’s the right thing to do, it’s giving your child a false sense of success. In fact, your child may have already told you more than once: “Dad! Play properly, you let me win! ” I’m sure you were shocked the first time he said that. He wants to experience the challenge that you are trying to avoid. He wants to learn to lose weight.
While this may seem silly, the truth is that with this setting, you are preventing your child from growing. You prevent him from becoming mature and from finding out that sometimes he will succeed, but other times he will not. It is in this way that he can learn to lose weight and it is very important in the early stages of life. We can not always win, and knowing how to accept both results will be very important for our future.
Learning to lose weight is just as important as knowing how to win. If you let your child win, he will never get this opportunity.
Do you let your child win because you are afraid he will be upset?
In most cases , you will undoubtedly let your child win because you are afraid that his self-esteem will get a blow. You think he will feel bad and that he will be afraid of experiencing a series of defeats. But the only thing you do is prevent them from really learning to lose weight. They learn how they will have to get better and move on if they want to win.
The phrase “you need to know how to lose weight” is very appropriate. When you practice it, it allows you to overcome barriers, conflicts, and problems that always arise when you least expect it. But none of this will be possible if you always let your child win. He will miss a lot if you always pretend you are losing when in reality he would never be able to beat you. How will you handle the bad periods in your life if you win every single game?

To give your child a head start
A better way you can do this is by giving your child a head start. In this way, you ensure that you are on the same level as him. You can also take into account the difficulty of the game. There are certain games that children are still too young for. In this kind of game, it is a good idea to play in teams. By playing together, you can be a kind of support in their learning process.
We tend to think that defeat negatively affects our child’s self-esteem, but this is not true. After all, they are actually getting stronger in the process.
If your child understands what it means to lose weight, you will have a good opportunity to teach him how to handle a defeat. For example, you can show him that it is much more important to enjoy the moment than to focus on the end result. This way, the end of the game will not be the most important factor. You have thus taught your child to focus on how they have played it all through.
The important thing in learning to lose weight
It is very important that your child experiences what it means to lose his matches. Let him learn how to confront his struggles with integrity and not collapse in the process. That way, he will learn not to get angry at others, and will be able to acknowledge his efforts and victory. With these defeats, we often learn a lot about how we get better next time.
If your child learns how to lose, it allows him not to regard a defeat as a door that suddenly closes. He will find that it is actually an opportunity to get better, mature and grow in the aspects of life that still have the potential to be developed. He will be much better able to tolerate frustration. Instead of letting himself be influenced by his opponents and enemies, he will learn how to use defeat to his own advantage and appear stronger in the end.

The child will no doubt learn that when he experiences a defeat, he shares the responsibility for it. This is also the case when real life does not live up to his expectations. It will be an opportunity for him not to blame others. He discovers that there is no such thing as luck or misfortune that can affect the outcome. He will thus see his defeats as an opportunity to do things differently. He will see them as an opportunity to change or a chance to do something better that he has not done properly.
When you lose, you sometimes win too, because you will always learn something from defeat.
The great thing about losing weight
If you let your child win, you will prevent him from experiencing the greatness of losing, and although it may at first seem like something negative, it is actually necessary. Sooner or later you will encounter difficult situations that you will have to solve. If you have not learned to lose, how can you expect to deal with more difficult situations with integrity and maturity and know how to face defeat in much more important matters than just a game.
Whatever you win or lose, you will always learn something from it. The most important thing is which path we choose and knowing how to enjoy it all along the way. Therein lies the real content of learning. Do not worry about your child getting upset about losing a game. Because in the end, it’s just a game. Your child will get over it very quickly. If he learns to accept the results in a fair way, whatever it may be, then you will be helping to lay a very strong foundation that will allow him to overcome any obstacle that will arise in the future.
