Kindergartener thinks everything is a competition

My soon to be 6 year old is becoming unbearable to do anything with. Everything becomes a competition, and I mean everything. 90% of the time, his father and I don’t even know we are competing. I feel like my son is just making it up as he goes so he can throw a fit because he didn’t “win”. Some ridiculous examples are:We were talking about Pokémon and the question came up about who a certain Pokémon evolved into. I actually like Pokémon so we play Pokémon Go and watch the show together. I remembered the name almost immediately and he started crying because “He wanted to know that.”We were getting ready to go outside and play with sidewalk chalk and I asked him to get his coat on while I got the chalk which was right by the door where we were. He started crying because I picked up the chalk before he put his jacket on.He wanted to draw Pokémon with the chalk. I decided to draw Snorlax and he was telling me what a bad drawing it was. Once I added the head, he saw that it actually did look just like it, he got really upset because “mine was better”. So I offered to help him with his which he finally gave in to and stopped crying. Except when I drew a side fin of the Pokémon, the fit started all over again because he felt like mine was better than the tail fin he made.It’s never ending. We can be eating dinner and he’ll randomly yell, “You ate more food than me already! That’s not fair!” I’ve tried to explain to him that not everything is a competition. I’ve tried sympathizing with him that jealousy is a tough emotion to feel and told him we should come up with ideas to make it easier. I’ve also told him that there are many things in life that aren’t fair (but I already knew that one wouldn’t make a difference). Lastly, I’ve tried to show him how I handle jealousy. One day we were playing Pokémon Go and he got invited to a special boss battle and got one of the hardest Pokémon to get in the game. I was pretty jealous since I had been playing since it released and I didn’t get the invite. I kept telling him how I felt and that even though I was jealous, I was very happy for him. Except he kept bragging to everyone that he got a Pokémon that I didn’t and saying, “Mommy is jealous!” Apparently he’s just as bad at “winning” too.Any advice on what I can do to help him stop being so anxious about needing to be the best and also to be more humble when he actually does win? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2IWWJfZ
