Make Losing a Winning Lesson

You don't want your child to see you in a heated argument with another player. You want your child to know you're enjoying yourself, and that's what really counts at the end of the day. Even when you're watching a sporting event with your child, don't focus on the outcome of the game. Talk about the play or other parts of the event that he enjoyed.
Remember, you're the role model. Don't ever lose your cool when it comes to a competition your child is involved in. If you're upset, refrain from yelling at coaches, umpires, referees or other players. If you have a concern that needs to be addressed, save it for after the game when you're in a more private setting. Also, encourage your child to play well with others. Teach them to be respectful of their opponents. Stress to your child that good sportsmanship is every bit as important as the skills he or she has.
