I've tried explaining to him that it's poor sportsmanship. He's gotten better as he's gotten older and just pouts and asks for another game. Once in a while I'll lose on purpose so that it makes him feel good so he won't hate the game. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crying-when-they-lose-a-board-game-or-card-game#post-2556397 Wed, 25 May 2016 14:45:47 +0000 Umbreon 2556397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, this reminds me, I have this memory from when I was a kid. I was 10, and I was at a friend's house and we were playing Monopoly. She was 8. I landed on Boardwalk, so I decided to buy it. She. Flipped. Out. Full on tantrum. I remember her mom coming in, took her away while she kicked and screamed at the top of her lungs, and she had to go to her room. Meanwhile I just sat there, thinking "what did I do?".<br /> Never played Monopoly with her again... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crying-when-they-lose-a-board-game-or-card-game#post-2556314 Wed, 25 May 2016 13:37:47 +0000 rachiecakes 2556314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh yeah, we get Happy Gilmore at mini golf occasionally.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crying-when-they-lose-a-board-game-or-card-game#post-2556308 Wed, 25 May 2016 13:33:27 +0000 agold 2556308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still cry when I lose at monopoly. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crying-when-they-lose-a-board-game-or-card-game#post-2556302 Wed, 25 May 2016 13:30:08 +0000 Anagram 2556302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had middle schoolers sob--not cry, sob--in class for getting an A- rather than an A+. So....sounds normal for an under 5? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crying-when-they-lose-a-board-game-or-card-game#post-2556300 Wed, 25 May 2016 13:27:55 +0000 Torchwood 2556300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seems healthy to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crying-when-they-lose-a-board-game-or-card-game#post-2556049 Wed, 25 May 2016 09:55:38 +0000 Mamaof2 2556049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS starting getting better about this at age 6 - he is 7.5 now and wont cry about it but does get mad sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crying-when-they-lose-a-board-game-or-card-game#post-2556040 Wed, 25 May 2016 09:51:15 +0000 fancyfunction 2556040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our nephews would do this until they were about 10! I get a little kid getting upset here or there, but 10??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crying-when-they-lose-a-board-game-or-card-game#post-2555918 Wed, 25 May 2016 02:39:15 +0000 mrbee 2555918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do your kids ever do this? Usually my kids are pretty good sports, but if one kid keeps losing at a game... sometimes they can take it a little hard.</p> <p>Our daughter cried the other day because she lost at Uno! I think she's just not used to losing, because she's somehow gotten so good at Uno that she wins almost every game!! Meanwhile I will have half the deck in my hands because I keep getting +4 cards. </p>
