Helping My Child Cope with Losing: Lessons Beyond the Game

Recently, I watched my child storm away from a board game, tears in their eyes, after losing to a friend. It broke my heart to see how hard they took it. I know how tough it can be to watch your child struggle with losing and want to quit. I’ve been there—feeling helpless, wanting to protect them from disappointment, but also knowing these moments are important for growth. We talked about how everyone loses sometimes, and that it’s okay to feel upset, but what matters is trying again. I’m learning that helping my child handle loss with grace is just as important as celebrating their wins. Have you faced this with your kids? How do you help them bounce back?
