Me my husband and our 12yr old daughter play smash brothers together. When we first started she was around 8 or 9 I think. We would go super easy on her. Till we started to realize she was actually starting to kick our ass lmao it got to where it was harder and harder to not let her win easily. See we would play hard core against each other but hit her a little and let her win.
Now her being 12 she still kicks our ass lol but we don't just let her win. She wins fair and square.
I think letting kids win once in a while let's them build confidence.
My family never let me win (they told me later it would feel condescending and disrespectful to deceive me, a bit of an unpopular opinion) so whenever I did... I was fucking proud for the whole day!
