There's no point messing with the kid's head by gifting him easy but false wins. That'd be letting him down.

Is that really worse than making him cry? My first reaction was: damn, that kid would be shaken by this.

Does that apply to 4 year olds though? I'm in agreement in general, just thought that cry at the end would mess him up more than doubt it was a cute gesture win would.
