I never went easy on my kids with video games. I did teach them how to properly trash-talk though, and how to recognize when trash-talk is and is not appropriate. I also remember when my kids finally beat me at Mario Kart after a really intense race; I nearly cried from how proud I was, because they were cheering each other on the whole time. It’s a cherished memory.
Remember, as long as everyone is having fun, it’s ok to tell them “git gud noob”. And git gud they sure did. I’m so proud of them.
Yeah, I never held back with my little cousin when we played a particular game, and in no time he was basically even with my skill level. Eventually played together on the same (low level) competitive team. Did the same with my gf. She complained about how hard I kept kicking her ass, but the first time I unleashed her on public lobbies, she stomped face.
