🏁 The Need to Win: JoJo’s Fierce Competitive Spirit

JoJo’s fiery spirit flares during family game time — and Mama Love is right there helping him turn those big feelings into small wins. 🎲🔥💙

Winning isn’t just fun for JoJo — it’s everything.

Whether we’re playing board games, racing to the car, or even doing silly family challenges, Jordan’s whole energy shifts if he feels like he’s not going to win. He’ll shout, cry, or break down entirely. And if someone else wins? Watch out — his emotions flood the room like a tidal wave.

As a mom, I’ve learned that this intensity comes from a real place. He feels deeply. He cares so much. His drive is strong — and honestly, I don’t want to squash that fire. It’s part of what makes him JoJo.

But I also see how hard it is on him when he loses. It’s more than disappointment — it’s like the world turned upside down. We’re working on helping him see value in the process, not just the outcome. It’s not easy. Some days, even talking about “losing” is too much.

But I believe this determination will serve him someday — as long as we guide it gently. We’re learning to take big feelings and turn them into growth. And no, we’re not there yet. But each meltdown is a moment of learning, and each recovery is a little win of its own.
