The Blame Game

Teach your children the finger symbols for winners and losers. For Losers, place your fingers in the shape of an L and place it on your forehead. For winner, use 3 fingers to resemble a W. Next, talk about how winners will take the blame when they have done something wrong and then try to learn from the mistake. Losers will blame someone else and invariably make the same mistake over and over. When you catch somebody shifting blame to someone else or a circumstance, make the Loser sign. Anyone is the family can catch anyone else. Same goes for when someone takes the blame or the responsibility for an action – cheer them with the winner sign.
