My son is in the gifted and talented program in his school, answers have always come easily to him in certain areas and he struggles extremely hard in others. We put him in an out of school program to help him with socializing and this summer he struggled so much with “losing” I’ve had many conversations with him that losing a game is so much better than winning it easily, because he gets to try harder the next time, and if he wins it will feel so much better inside because he’ll know how hard he worked for it. Giving children prizes for trying and not recording their wins/losses is a terrible way for kids to “grow”, their losses should be celebrated, their hard work to gain a win should be celebrated, that way when they do win they can look back and see their growth
