How to prevent tantrums when playing games

How to prevent tantrums when playing gamesHow to prevent tantrums when playing games

Knowing how to prevent tantrums when playing games is important in teaching your child to handle defeat and cope better with setbacks in the future

Games are a fun activity that can teach your kid important skills such as teamwork and cooperation. However, no one can win all the time and it's difficult for little kids to cope well with losing, especially if they feel that they put in a lot of effort into winning the game.

Early on, it's important to teach your child that winning isn't everything and that they can learn a lot more from losing since it would teach them to look back on what they could improve on and help them improve the skills and strategies that would let them win in the future.

Knowing how to prevent tantrums when playing games would not only be good for your peace of mind, but it will also be vital in teaching your child to handle defeat gracefully, as well as turn the loss into a positive learning experience that will help them cope better with setbacks in the future.

We searched around on /r/Parenting on Reddit to see what parents do when their children get frustrated while playing games as well as how they cope with their child throwing tantrums if they lose a game.

At the end of the day, the most important thing is to just have fun. Games are meant to be for fun and as an avenue for your child to learn not only how to cope with loss, but also how to be a gracious winner. That way, everyone wins!
