"Recognize and validate a child's emotions after experiencing defeat. Whether it's frustration, disappointment, or anger, let the child know that feeling this way is normal. Avoid dismissing their feelings; instead, encourage open communication. By acknowledging the child's feelings, parents show that their emotions are important and understood. Encourage the child to express their feelings in words, which helps them understand and manage their emotions better."

"Every defeat is an opportunity to learn. Discuss specific aspects of the game that the child can improve on and encourage them to view defeat as a learning experience, fostering resilience and a positive attitude towards challenges. For example, ask, "What did you learn from the match earlier?" This way, the child will see defeat as part of the learning and self-development process."

"Winning or losing in a competition does not determine a child's value or ability. Share stories about successful individuals who also faced failures but persevered, to demonstrate the importance of resilience in life."
