Why is losing a game a big deal?

Hello,

My question today is why losing a game is a very big deal for my son.

It does upset him so much when that happens that he will cry no stop until he feels calm again. I understand it is difficult for him to give words to his emotions and it is heart breaking to witnesses his frustration. Telling him that it is a game and sometimes you lose doesn't help.

What should I do?

Thank you

  • I never understood why losing at a game was such a big deal, It's ridiculous if you asked me, To me, it's just a part of growing up. and it's best to teach kids that, rage quitting isn't a nice thing. The sad part is that there are adults that rage at losing a simple game too. So yeah it's a strange situation.
