How do you play with your kids?
So I am going to see my cousin pretty soon and I’ve always wondered this. Why does it seem like everybody just let their kid win without giving them any sort of challenge? Like how do you play these activities with your kids? why do people just let their kids win?
When your child wants to race you at the playground on the kiddie rock wall, why is there this assumption that your child can’t actually race you? Children can climb a rock wall, why else are these on the playground? Instead it seems that grown-ups will just barely move, and act like the Kiddie wall is the hardest thing ever. Why not actually climb, and actually race your child like they are wanting you to do? The whole point of a rock wall races to see who can get to the top first.
It is the same thing when a child wants to arm wrestle with them the adult seemingly barely even does much of anything, and it is very obvious that they are just straight up letting their kid win. Why doesn’t the adult actually put in effort when they arm wrestle? Why not actually challenge your kid, the whole point of arm wrestling is to see who is stronger.
And again it’s the same thing with a relay race. Children know how to run because they have running tracks on playgrounds. So why do parents just do this really awkward walking thing where they are barely moving?
It’s just the same thing if you were going to play with your friend right? You would genuinely put an effort and play with your friend, so I’m not with your kid?
