node didn't raise no loser

do you ever feel like that is too soul crushing?

I mean he’s 5. Not many competitive games that we play yet. A few easy board games. He doesn’t pay attention much. Unrealistic that he could possibly win. Other one is too young

how about things like soccer, my little one is 5, her brother I beat more consistently, maybe like 70/30% cause he found it motivating

She can handle 50/50 but loses interest with more

I lean towards what's the ratio to get you maximally engaged/improving

We did do quite a bit of martial arts together (aikido). For that it wasn’t presented in a win or lose way. All the takedowns and techniques were presented as a game. Keeps the kids engaged. So basically he would “take me down” everytime. But I would take him down every single time too. He would tell me “papa you take me down so quickly” and I would reply “I was paying attention to what the master said son, maybe you should too” 😂

If it’s not a competition, at his age it keeps him invested. So a good 50/50 maybe 60/40 like in the martial arts class. But the master would change the exercices quite a few times in the hour. Also games to begin and end the session. Let them burn some energy. But make it more about play then win or lose. Competition and proper technique can come later

Play some games that are up to chance. Easier for them to win that way without going easy on them.

There’s one with the dice in a bubble and you advance your coloured pieces on the board. It’s like 70% chance. He’s not very good at it 😂
