Sometimes You Win - Sometimes You Learn For Kids

I ordered this book to be able to teach my children that we can’t and won’t always win, and that it’s ok. The book didn’t disappoint. We’ve read it several times and I keep coming back to it and reminding my children that sometimes you win and sometimes you learn. I’m sure they’re sick of me saying it, but surely some of it is sticking with them.Highly recommend this book to anyone with children who struggle to lose.

BrilliantHighly recommend it

Its important message to give kids (and adults), they don't lose, they just learn and involve. Each household should have such book on its shelf.

My granddaughter loved this book and I will read that one to her over and over so the message of growth through failure stick. It is a great reminder of the lessons for ourselves also.

Stories serve to teach important life lessons, and John Maxwell is a masterful teller of meaningful stories. In his inaugural childrens book, he brings to life the core principle of both his adult book, "Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Learn" and his young adult version, "Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Learn For Teens", namely that a lesson learned is not a loss.In this beautifully illustrated book, the two youngsters struggle with dampened enthusiasm after a disappointing loss. After getting wise counsel from their grandfather, they enter the next game with renewed spirits only to lose again. Another dose of grandpa finally gets them in the right frame of mind. Will they finally win?Dealing with failure and disappointment is one of the most important life lessons children have to learn. It is the foundation of resilience, something that is often a struggle for adults.The last page offers suggested quuestions for the adult reading to the child, that will enrich the experience. Using various questions means each read will produce different results. A favorite story can be turned into a powerful learning tool.It is never too soon to learn the deep lessons of life, they merely need to be put into a simple context. I can't wait to see what other principles Dr Maxwell tackles in the future.

My grand daughter throws a fit when she loses at any game so I ordered this for her mother for a bedtime story. It’s a gentle story she’ll hopefully take to heart.

Excellent book. Parents need to read it with their kids! Merry Christmas!

My 6-year-old daughter loves this book! She read it dozens of times since we bought it a month ago. She takes it with her in her keep-busy bag if she has to keep herself busy while waiting. The text rhymes and incorporates famous sayings about winning, perseverance, doing your best and learning from your losses. I love the message it sends since my daughter can be a perfectionist and get frustrated if she isn't able to get something just right (as when playing the piano, for instance). This book is totally worth the money!
