I still haven't found a perfect solution to deal with my son who has to get his way in winning board games if not all hell break loose. It happened today in his class as I observed him on the monitor. There were 5 students taking turns and round one is over he didn't win the game, he threw a tantrum.
I have enforced a number one rule with board games.
1. Anyone can win, if you lose don't cry or we are not going to start the game.
Can you agreed to this rule? if YES then we can play if NO we cannot play.
2. The rule of the game is to take turns. Everyone will have a turn. You cannot skip ahead.
Pick who is going to go first and then second, third or forth.
Then remind again about the first rule.
3. The actually game rule. Read the rules of the game. Then repeat the first and second rules.
