On the one hand, it is quite for the development of a child’s personality (个性) to win and to the best ways to get that. On the other hand, if a child only cares about , then for him, playing a game is funny only when he wins. Or if he finds a better partner, he will get and he doesn’t want to go on playing.
It’s parents’ to make their children know that: you can’t always win and there are many unpleasant moments when you have to learn how to lose. The idea is to compete, to prove you are good, not only to win.
In a word, playing a game is not funny only when you win. It is funny you enjoy it and try your best to win. If you are just a little bit unlucky, don’t a lot. You will surely prove your abilities some other day.
