Centsable Mom's Received a Free Copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion and all opinions are my own.

Let me begin by saying that being competitive is not a bad thing but when you are just a poor sport then that can become and issue. My son is definitely a poor sport and I was at my wits end trying to get him to understand that it is not about winning but about doing your best and having fun. I thought at one point that he had grasped the concept and was doing pretty good but then a set back he was back to being a poor sport and then I received an offer to review this book and I thought, this is perfect! I homeschool so we have reading time every day and I worked this book in the same day I received it and we sat down and read it together and I really feel as if he understood better by reading and seeing pictures than he did by me just telling him. He has turned into a much better sport and is definitely making progress. We sit down together and read this book whenever I feel he is being a poor sport and he is understanding it more and more. This book has truly helped me get through to him on a level that I could not seem to get to on my own. This is an excellent book for teaching kids valuable life lessons and about their own value and how it is not about whether they win or lose but it is about the person that they are. This is a great book for any child to read and it teaches and has helped my son reinforce good sportsmanship and that he is loved whether he wins or loses. Centsable Mom's gives this book the highest rating on the Centsable Scale of 5 Cents and I highly recommend that you check this book out on Amazon here is the link or just click the picture above to check it out today

Win or lose, one thing that’s true . . . No matter what, I love you!
Competition can bring out the worst in us, but it can also be an opportunity to learn impactful life lessons. That’s why it’s so important for kids to understand how to handle winning and losing!
Join Lulu and Max as they help Bear-Bear, Goosey, Coyote and the rest of their animal friends in the Field Day contests determine who will be the leader of Lulu’s forest.
But as the animals soon find out, not everyone can win. Sore losers, unkind winners, flaring tempers, and a few tears are taking the fun straight out of Field Day!
Just like Lulu and Max help the animals navigate the ups and downs of the day, with Win or Lose, I Love You parents will be equipped to help children:

• Replace the selfish characteristics of competition with an understanding of how to treat others fairly
• Overcome the tendency to display poor sportsmanship by using Biblical truths to develop a Christ-like attitude
• Reject the labels of winning and losing and embrace that they are loved no matter how they perform.

Win or Lose, I Love You will show your child that, no matter what, their value is tied to who they are, not how they play!
