It is difficult to be a winner always and in everything, but behaving with dignity during a loss is also a victory, a small victory over oneself. The ability to play is laid down in childhood, so parents should pay special attention to this.
Instructions
Step 1
Show your child by example how to behave when losing. Congratulate him on his victory and shake his hand when he wins, for example, in board games.
Step 2
Explain to him that failure is an important experience, and if he sees his mistakes, he has a chance to avoid them in the future. Any defeat today can serve as a platform for future victories.
Step 3
Support the child with your love. When he is sure that he is loved, regardless of his victories and defeats, it is easier for him to cope with negative situations.
Step 4
Teach your child to express emotions correctly. He can scream, stamp his feet, jump, but his aggression should not harm other people.
Step 5
Try to explain to your child that participation in the game is the most important thing. Teach him to take all the best out of the game process - emotions, skills. When a child becomes interested in the game itself, he will adequately perceive defeats and victories.
Step 6
Leave him alone for a while so he can deal with the failure on his own. Then, together, try to figure out why this happened. When you find mistakes, help your child work through them.
Step 7
Teach your child to correctly distribute responsibility for failure. Defeat depends on factors such as attentiveness, luck, level of preparation.
Step 8
Praise your kid for both victories and dignified behavior during a loss. Tell him that he has become much better playing, that the opponents had to work hard to take the palm from him.
Step 9
Teach your child to be respectful of the feelings of other children. Victory is great, but you shouldn't insult the losers, laugh at them. Have your child cheer up their friends. If he learns to react correctly to the defeat of his comrades, then he will perceive his own mistakes much more calmly.
