At one point we had a ton of fun with Forbidden Island, which is a very exciting cooperative game (the players all work together to win against a flood).

When I lost I modeled good sportsmanship and expected him to I do the same when he lost...and helped him do that. And sometimes I would talk to myself about why I was or wasn't doing some strategy. It wasn't long before kid was very good at game as I was.

We went through a cooperative game phase as well because my younger DS had the same issues. Not only is it good for the kid, but it can be fun for he parents as well. Pandemic was a favorite for us.
