Should you always let your child win at board games? We're not sure... parenting

\nI\u2019ve never been a big board game fan myself. But when someone bought my 5-year-old daughter Bodhi Rae a game called Candyland about a year ago \u2013 well, she was sold.\nGrandma, Grandad, the babysitters and any friends she has round get roped into a game or 10. I don\u2019t usually see the outcome as I tend to leave her to it.\nBut when I\u2019m playing with her? She wins.\u00a0Every time.\nI know, I know. I can hear the tuts as I say that.

Like\u2026\n\ntelling me not to look at the dice while she rolls it and then saying she got a 6 when she got a 1, or\ndeciding that I cheated some time before and I need to go back on the board , or\njust saying that the rules have changed and basically whatever number she rolls next means she wins.\n\nBy hook or by crook she anticipates a loss and does EVERYTHING she can think of to stop it.\nI\u2019ve tried to tell her when I think she might be cheating \u2013 she assures me she\u2019s not.
