Is there anything I can do to help? DS doesn't want to play anything where winning/losing is involved. No board games/ football etc.

We have a lasertag party this afternoon, and he's already saying he doesn't want to play as he will lose.

How can I help him with this? Thanks!

Oh, well its nice to know maybe it's not just him, though sorry for you iwould!

DS is generally cheerful/helpful a nice easy kid- but he just does not want to join in if its competitive. He is good at collaborative type games though. Just hates the pressure perhaps?
