I take the rules of board games seriously.
If we don't teach kids to follow the rules of board games, and allow them to cheat because they're kids, we're telling them that the rules don't matter.
I play to win, no matter who I'm playing, old or young. But then the kids I play board games with know I take them seriously as players, and they can take great pride in the victories they do achieve when playing against me. I think that's better for a child's self-esteem than letting them win.
