My 6 year old boy seems to be almost too competitive. He no longer has fun doing activities that involve sports. For example, if he's playing catch with me or his father and he misses a few he gets so frustrated that it becomes no longer fun. We went to a bowling b-day party over the weekend and he did okay but he wasn't in first place. He kept making a face and saying, "I stink". We really try to praise his efforts not the outcome of his sports. I know it's not an earth shattering problem but this child is getting no joy or fun out of playing sports. He would still rather be outside doing some type of sport than indoors but it's been ending up in complete frustration for all of us.
Is there something I can do to get him back into just enjoying it? Thanks ya'll.
