Winning and Losing

A couple of years ago, I created this visual for my kids who have trouble losing (and winning) games and had it printed poster-size.  We use this script each and every time we do anything even remotely competitive.  Typically, we review it before and at least once during an activity before we really need it. At first, it’s very scripted and unnatural, but once the kids realize it’s the expectation and it’s not going away, lots of uncomfortable moments are avoided.
