I appreciate all of these thoughts and I know my friend does, too.

I would say her son falls more in line with the advice of DeeDee and Renie, where this may just not be the sports situation for him.

I, on the other hand, appreciate the other posters advice for my dd6. We've been playing Candy Land a lot with her and dd4 and noticed some considerable improvement in her sore-losing as I've implemented some of the ideas you mentioned!

Thanks!
