Losing is a natural part of life, but learning to lose gracefully doesnt always come so naturally. If youve ever watched a professional sports game, you know all too well what I mean. Learning to lose gracefully is an art that is perfected only through guidance and experience. Fortunately, you can help your children learn art sooner rather than later by:

Putting the emphasis on giving your best.

hile everyone wants to win, shift the focus from winning to giving your best and to having fun. game is like the cake and winning is like the frosting on top. Its sweet, but the cake can be

Providing your child with opportunities to lose.

hile it can be tempting to let your child win at board games and other games, dont. hen he to lose gracefully and we he loses, guide him through losing gracefully by encouraging him to be a

Valuing good sportsmanship.

!each your child to always say "congratulations# to the winner and to shake his hand. $xplain the throwing a fit when you lose and not boasting when you win. %odel good sportsmanship with you together and take the time to point out and explain when you see others displaying both good and

Praising your child when he handles loss well.

&ffer lots of positive purposeful praise when your child plays hard and handles loss well. ' " ow, the ball. Im so proud of you# will go a long way to lessen the sting of the loss.

Talking to your child about why he lost.

!alk openly about the game and experience. !each your child that sometimes we lose because our skills arent as good as our opponents, sometimes we lose because of bad luck or a bad call, and sometimes we lose because we didnt play our best. (iving rational reasoning for losing can help making losing less emotional. %ake an effort to teach your child to lose gracefully. If you do, your child and those who play, coach and teach him will thank you.
