My four-year-old has to win at every game we play, regardless of who he plays with. When he loses,he starts to cry. How can I help him to change this behavior?

My 5 1/2 year old son strongly resists throwing away wrappers and packaging, saying that he can make something out of it later. I find stashes of popsicle sticks, toy packaging etc. He also doesn't want to pass on clothing that is too small. What might be going on here and how can I help him feel more comfortable in letting go of things?

I have a first born son who is 6 3/4 years old. He is riddled with anxiety interacting with kids in sports and play. When he makes a mistake or his team does not win, he becomes so tearful. He cannot seem to make a mistake without becoming defensive. How can I get through to him that perfection is not necessary or realistic? What can I do to make him more accepting of himself?

I have three boys ages 7, 4 1/2 and 2 1/2. My question has to do with my oldest son. Since I can remember he has always been someone who needs things to go perfectly. If something happens he can't bounce back or blow it off. For example tonight he had a cub scout hike and was very excited to do it. When we got there he was playing with the other kids, he tripped and fell but DID NOT GET HURT and then from there it went all down hill. First he started crying then he started saying he wanted to go home. I tried consoling him I tried distracting. I seem to make it worse. I just do not know what to do anymore. I feel like he is going to grow being disappointed in many things because he never just lets it go. Please help
