  1. Tips on Helping Your Child Develop Sportsmanship ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT REASONS TO PLAY A SPORT

  2. Start Young • When you’re playing a board game or Go Fish and your child loses, how does she handle it? • Many toddlers are so focused on the goal – winning – that if they lose, they inevitably will have a temper tantrum.

  3. Be a good role model • Whether you’re a good or bad example, your child will pick up on your tone, your comments, and your actions – everything you do will influence your child on some level.

  4. Cheer others on • It’s important to cheer others on and encourage them. • Sometimes there’s a kid who always strikes out, but it’s still helpful to be positive and encouraging.

  5. Be honest • Was it on the line or was it out? • If there’s no referee and it’s a low-key game, remind your child that it’s not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game.

  6. Pick up • At the end of the game, encourage your children to pick up after themselves.

  7. Cheaters never win • The other side of being honest is keeping calm when and if someone else cheats. • Whatever the case, reiterate to your child that it’s important to step back and be the bigger person. • Realize people make mistakes. Most people are trying their best – move on.
