February, 2009

The View from the Vicarage, March 2009

Do you hate to lose? Do you think it is right to make sure your children always win so as not to damage their self esteem?

As a young boy I loved to play cards with my Nan (usually 2 pack Rummy). She was always fun and I loved her to bits, but she would always beat me. I did not like this quality in her at the time but I understand better now. My Nan was trying to teach me about one of the great challenges of life.
