When playing board games with 5yo ds, he always wants to cheat (spin again if he doesn't get a high enough number, etc.). Should I insist we play by the rules? His friends will never let him get away with it, but then I'm not his friends. Any advice? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I used to tell DS we needed to play by the rules for a while, and then he could play by his own "rules" for a while. [ Reply | More

I think you have to model appropriate game-playing behavior. That's really the whole "point" of playing games at this age. There are ways to handle it gracefully but also insist on fair play. [ Reply | More

I think as long as you set the ground rules at the front, you can play it either way. You can say, "Today we're gong to play by the official rules for a awhile, and then we can play by Jack's rules." [ Reply | More
