I make people overly competitive.

D.O.F. likes to prevent us or others from having a fun time while playing games.

This may include:

• Not letting us compromise with others
• Insisting that we go first or have to have a specific color during a game
• Not being flexible to try new games; only sticking to games that you know
• Changing the rules midway through the game or adding new rules that make the game more complicated
• Makes you think problems are huge and gets you to have big reactions
• Using mean or unfriendly words or mean tone
• Cheating/Peeking at another's card
• Bragging

Superflex can help by:

• If you do not get to have something your way during the game, ask yourself, "how big a problem is it?". If a tiny problem, then what is a tiny response: let it go, compromise or negotiate, or pick your next favorite color
• Helping to change our brains and the way we think about things so that way we can come up with fair ways to compromise: rock, paper, scissors; roll dice, or everyone just picks a number not already chosen
• Switching our brain to see that choosing a new game can be fun as long as the kids around are all having fun
• Being flexible and telling ourselves that we tried our best and had fun playing with our friends
• Using our words to communicate how we are feeling if we are mad about something
• Complimenting others about the great game they had
• Self-talk: "That's okay, maybe I'll win another time."; "I'll just try again"; "It's just a game"; "I'm having fun, whether I win or lose."
