quote:I don't know. My dad never let me win in basketball growing up. He'd use his height advantage and just completely wreck me. The games got closer and closer the older I got, but I could never get the better of him. I've always been shorter than him so he always had the physical advantage. I never felt down or anything about it. It made me want to try even harder and keep practicing. He seemed really tore up when I finally did beat him. I was about 16-17 and he was 38.
On the other hand it said if you never let them win they grow up with a defeatist attitude and are not as successful bc they don't see the point in trying as hard.

Well it's not just one thing. Imagine if you had never beaten your parents at anything. Also, I'm talking about at a really young age like <6 years old.
There are obviously cases where, like yourself, it makes the kid want to work that much harder though. It's not an foolproof study.
