Day 10 - Issues With Losing?


We discovered just before new years that Maddie had an issue with her not winning things when we went to pick up the tickets that I won to the baseball. So today, while Mum was keeping me distracted as I had my first episode of spotting we decided to see how Maddie went playing Bocce. I took this shot, just before she picked up her ball and moved it closer to the little black one and started singing 'I win, I win.' Mum then proceeded to teach Maddie to try be a bit better when she didn't win, by making her take it in turns with winning, and congratulating the winner, but every time she lost, she walked to the step and had a fairly good cry about it. While it is funny watching her over reactions to winning and losing, it is a bit of a worry that she is so competitive at this stage, especially seeing as we try to do very little that involves winning at home.
