We sat down to play Monopoly. We’ve played so many times before and we always have a good time. My youngest, Evan (5) has been playing now for a while and although he needs some help he really enjoys it.
One thing, we always discuss as we play games is about winning.
I remind the children that “It’s not the winning that matters, it’s the taking part”
Winning is awesome. It feels good. It’s a great confidence booster. It helps us with our self esteem.
Losing not so much. Someone has to lose though!
Let’s think about times when we lost. If you are like me, you don’t really have an issue with losing. Then again, I’d say my self-esteem and confidence play a high roll in this.
When we lose, we learn from the experiences, in turn helping us with our growth and our development.
“The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well”.
-Pierre de Coubertin
Playing the game is important, winning not so much.
Being apart of something is far more important than who comes first.
Agree?
