Win or lose, one thing that’s true .
. . No matter what, I love you!
Competition can bring out the worst in us, but it can also
be an opportunity to learn impactful life lessons. That’s why it’s so important
for kids to understand how to handle winning and losing!
Join Lulu and Max as they help Bear-Bear, Goosey, Coyote
and the rest of their animal friends in the Field Day contests determine who
will be the leader of Lulu’s forest.
But as the animals soon find out, not everyone can win.
Sore losers, unkind winners, flaring tempers, and a few tears are taking the
fun straight out of Field Day!
Just like Lulu and Max help the
animals navigate the ups and downs of the day, with Win or Lose, I Love
You parents will be equipped to help children:
·
Replace the selfish characteristics
of competition with an understanding of how to treat others fairly
·
Overcome the tendency to display poor
sportsmanship by using Biblical truths to develop a Christ-like attitude
·
Reject the labels of winning and
losing and embrace that they are loved no matter how they perform.
Win or Lose, I Love You will show your child that, no matter what, their value is tied
to who they are, not how they play!
My Thoughts:
We live in such a competitive world, and it seems like
our kids are under so much pressure to always be the best. Unfortunately,
parents have only fueled the fire of being perfect all the time. We have pushed
our kids to be number one, and have somehow forgotten that so many times it is
more about having fun that just winning.
When our kids don’t win it can be hard to still be
positive and encouraging to them, but Winor Lose I Love You is a great book for teaching kids that even when they
don’t win, we still love them no matter what.
Throughout this book kids get to learn the proper way to
both win and lose, but they also get to see what being nice and working
together can accomplish. This book emphasizes the simple truth that we always
love our kids, even when they aren’t in first place.
My kids had so much fun with this book. Not only did they
enjoy the story but I also found them working through their own version of the
forest games. I know they are going to enjoy this book for years to come.
