Since DS has started school he has started with the whole bragging thing (eg. my dad's better/bigger/older (?!Bless him) than your dad etc). When him and a friend get together it is a nightmare and just turns in to this huge competition about everything. Very unpleasant.
It is really not making him sound like a nice little boy at all and I'm quite upset about it. He is pfb, so I don't have much experience with these things. I just want him to be happy and have good friendships.
I feel a bit of a failure, I don't know how he has ended up so competitive. We have tried to model good behaviour, we don't brag, we don't let him win all the time, he does lots of team sports, he has always been around lots of other children and I thought he understood about being a nice friend etc.
I don't know how to stop it to be honest, I don't think he would even understand the term bragging. Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.
