Q&A: How can I help my child handle losing without meltdowns or tears?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...

  • Simple, effective emotion regulation strategies that actually work for 6-year-olds when disappointment over losing takes over—and how to use them in a way that feels supportive, not controlling.

  • When to step in and what to say—a breakdown of the best parenting approaches before, during, and after a game to help your child manage big feelings in the moment (and build skills for the future).

  • The secret to teaching good sportsmanship outside of game time—why some of the most powerful lessons happen when no one's keeping score.

  • How the exact same words you say to your child can be either validating and invading - and what makes the difference so you can avoid the latter.

  • How to keep things fun while still building resilience—because not every moment needs to be a teaching moment (and knowing when to step back is just as important).

Unpacking the root drive of competitiveness in children so you know how to best channel this toward healthy and socially acceptable behaviors.
