I hate cheating. I love playing a game and having the satisfaction of knowing I won based on skill alone<\/strong>. I will not cheat in order to win, there is no fun in this; I would just walk away feeling a truck load of guilt, fearing a big lightning bolt from above striking my head.<\/strong><\/p>\n 3HCWZT2RAJT6<\/p>\n Kalyra and I love to play memory game, or concentration, with animal cards together. This is a great game that helps to teach Kalyra how to think. As a mother and teacher, I aim to set up situations for my daughter that enables her to think and solve problems for herself<\/strong>. I am not a believer in doing things for her just so I can feel needed. If I think she is capable of doing it then she is going to do it.<\/strong><\/p>\n Of course she is only three and so when we play she has a few of her own little rules she wants to play by. The play-by-the-rules finger in me starts to come out before I realize that perhaps there is something greater here for her to learn<\/strong> than just cheating is not a great thing.<\/p>\n This can be a morality code that can be installed in small doses as she moves through life. Her little self-centred self is probably not going to fully grasp code of ethics just yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n
