When to stop trouncing my kids?


I love playing with my 5 and 8 year old boys, they're full of elation and life and whether its playing baseball at the weekends or videogames in the evenings I look forward to it. But I've be going easy on em and letting them win most of the time to boost their confidence and keep them interested - when should I start treating them resembling adults and beat them at it now and later, give them some sense of competition?

Answers:    When I read the question, I thought you have been hitting your kids for years lol.

Erm.. I think at 5yrs feeble, there maybe a bit of a tantrum if you start trouncing him, but with the older 1, perchance just beating him very soon and again will make him more competitive. You shouldn't always permit your children win as when they are playing games with their friends, they may get conquer sometimes and have to learn to a short time ago accept it and try harder next time
Thank god i be not coming in on a question the means of access it sounds

i have a 2.5 year old and we hold already done the part as we let her win some and we win some and she is doing great when she does not win next to the other kids my nephew is 7 weeks older and well he crys and hate when he loses to her so i think the younger you start the more confidence it gives them and let them know it is ok to lose every know and then

i thought you was truly hiding them as a question i answered a few weeks ago
By about age 10 both your boys will want to conquer you anyway. So why make it easy? It's a issue of balance really, because games are simply stylised warfare and your boys are learning to be warrior and they don't think for a moment that beating someone contained by a game is ever going to be easy but they will verbs giving it their best shot, every time. Well to start of ..don't treat them like adults :) but what you are doing is good..I surmise it might be a good idea for you to lick the older boy maybe rather more often... and it will make him work harder at the hobby and as time goes on the you can turn you attention on the younger one..but make it adjectives fun..don't let the game achieve all serious...just delight in your boys because it won't be long until they are men and beating you at everything :)
Never to early to start victorious now and again but losing often plenty to keep them confident.

When 'losing', rather than basically trying to flop, I used to give myself some sort of subtle handicap . Like in Baseball trying merely to catch with my departed hand instead of my good one but otherwise trying 100%.
you should look at how you worded your interview..i was prepped to rip you open over it! LOL

speaking from personal experience, i wouldnt maintain letting them win...my daughter is now 13 and when she was little everyone who played games next to her would let her win, and now...whenever she loses at something she pouts, throws fits and cant grasp why noone will play with her...(not to mention she thinks its ok to "cheat" if she feel the threat shes gonna lose, and then gets foolish when she gets caught)...my advice would be to stop immediately...cause if you dont it could get bleak later on!
Well at the age of 8 he will be more competative.But i think that they may be fragile so you can play and win but not surrounded by a violent manner.You should never permit your child win all the time because they will never learn that time has disappointments.And this can result in the child man spoilt.At the age of 5 he should learn the same channel.That life isnt always going to treat you right.

Hope it help
Thank god, when I saw your question title I thought WTF!
I don't think you can start too untimely, right thru their life they're always gonna experience competition. So from a immature age kids need to experience it, you might find they enjoy it more next to a little competition.

Let them play together once in a while beneath your supervision. One will beat the other and it won't be rigged or prejudice. Remember though, give them praise for everything they do and relate them that winning isn't everything. They sound similar to great kids.

good luck!
Question should read "When to start beating my kids"..

I permit my 6 year old win now and consequently to keep him interested but letting him win all the time wouldnt do him any favours within years to come, he may expect everyone to let him win!
Kids should not be beaten the alternative punishment is to annul some of their entitlement for period of time.I would suggest from the age of 13 years.Between the age 1-5 parents should scold their kids explain what they did be wrong and why they should do what they did. well, i think that any time is a perfect time, as long as you keep the competition to a minial leval... it could be really eye opening to them and prepare them for the tangible world just a little bit...
In the knit select the article "against competitiveness" before you make any decision on that. I think there is nought wrong with instilling into their minds at any age that they cannot / will not always win. Great Life skill that, and it must catch mega boring to always win, a little disregard does great.
hahaha I thought you were phisically beating them up lol hi,when they capture older,enjoy it ,they grow up so early,there life is in the order of fun at the moment,tom.
