Variable Ratio Schedule for Getting Kids Addicted to Board Games
In light of the above, here’s a solid Variable Ratio Schedule for playing board games with your kid:
- the first time you play a particular game, let the kid win.
- thereafter, let the kid win some of the time. 60% of the time is good to start (you can dial it down slowly as the kid improves if you want).
- make the sequence of wins and losses as random as possible.
- critically, make the outcome as close as you can every time, especially when the kid loses. She should always feel like she barely lost.
