Care & Feeding: My Kid’s a (Really) Sore Loser

Aug 15, 2024
50:51

On this episode: Jamilah, Elizabeth and special guest host Dillon White of DadChats and ChatsFam help a listener whose kid really, really struggles with losing. The smallest not-wins send this boy into hysterics… even though he knows all that sportsmanship stuff. So what might help — and what might this parent be missing?


We’ll also debrief with a round of parenting Triumphs & Fails — including an update on Naima’s first day of middle school.
