I was teaching Madison how to play Tic Tac Toe today. I've noticed that she has been getting a cocky attitude when playing games lately. Saying "Ha Ha...I'm going to beat you!" or another favorite "I'm going to win, I'm going to win!" (in that sing-song voice children do so well)
She finally beat me on a game & started her chant. I felt this was the perfect time to teach her about poor sportsmanship. I explained that it's not nice to say things in a mean way because it could hurt feelings. I then told her she should say something like "good game". I then asked her to try it out. She looked at me sincerely and said in a sweet voice "good game...you forgot to win though".
I tried...
