Do you let your kids win when you play them at sports? Like 1v1 basketball or whatever game?

I don’t but I’ll adjust how hard I go on them to suit the game in play .. until they are better then me which won’t be long and can’t wait for!

How about you?

I might take a similar approach. If you win too easily they will likely want to give up.

Can’t destroy them but you need to keep them engaged in the contest if I start winning too much I might give some advantages

Definitely not my teenage son but I have been known to let my daughter score an easy goal or two on me.

Yes boys and girls have a different approach that’s for sure! Do you still have it over the teenager?

Yes for now.

I don't, but I also adjust how hard I'm playing.

I never won at sports as a kid and it never put a damper on my enjoyment.

Surely not! Not much good comes easy

My son's coach is really tough... Her approach to the game is very friction-based... 🏀 When we played together, she used force.

Definitely not making it easy then

I ask them: do you want to play me on easy, medium or hard mode? They mostly choose easy or medium, but sometimes I throw in a hard.

Kids are 3 and 6.

At 6&7 sometimes yes and sometimes no. We were racing around the yard yesterday. I need to push it to win, lol

It can really be a case by case and depending on the mood as well hey !
