Wesley cried today while we played games during music appreciation class. hmmm... i noticed that he is a bit 'kiasu' and ego. I realised that playing games can be the best way to understand your students. When he started to cry, I just stop the game. Then he cried even louder, why winning is so important to him? Why he just can't lose to others? I favored him a lot, but i really want him to learn his lesson. So after terminating the game, I asked him to just sit at the corner as the class still need to be continued. He knew that I was annoyed by his attitude, so he still obey what i asked him to do but still in tears. Class continued. Everybody seems keep looking at him but somehow i still be able to make them focused on what i am going to deliver.

Class ended.

I asked him to come near me. He walked slowly, no more tears but still keep rubbing his eyes. "Go bring your tumbler and drink water first. "

Talk to him. He didn't reply but just nodded his head.

It isn't about winning (games), but it is your attitude while playing it.

What for winning a game but you don't enjoy it. If it makes you cry and sad, there is no point playing it anymore , right? In this case, you should know win and lose are common and there is no big deal about it. Just take it. He looked at me with his dry eyes (effect after crying so much) and nodded a few times. I guess he did learn something today. A lesson that might be helpful in future.
