Losing with Grace

In this episode, Aniesa wants to talk about how we can teach children to lose and how to teach them to do that in the right way, exploring the best techniques and methods to help them build resilience and skills for the future.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• It isn’t easy for children to lose but teaching them to do so gracefully is helping set them up to build resilience.
• The best way to teach children how to lose in the right way is to lead by example and talk about how we feel when we struggle to lose.
• We can’t always win or be the best, there will be winners and losers. We have to focus on the effort and teach children the same. We should also use losing as an opportunity to teach and learn from mistakes.
