squishys, one suggestion I have for you is to make sure that your DS has
other venues for practicing gracious losing. I kind of alerted here on your report that
He used to be a bit with Uno, but he doesn't play anymore.
It can really set up a not-so-great situation when the only real chance you have to use that skill set is in a domain that matters too much for you to exercise good self-control.
The
best situation is to practice the skill with board games where there is ONE 'winner' and multiple losers, preferably people that the child trusts.
That way, not winning is not leaving you "the" loser, if that makes sense.
