Dad wins a race against daughter in funny video

Meanwhile, Briefly News previously questioned whether it was okay to let your child win all the time when playing games. This was the question on several peeps’ minds after a social media user shared a video of a father and his daughter recently.

The clip shows the man and the girl participating in a playful run race, to which the man wins. He proceeds to repeatedly say, “You could never,” and the little girl breaks down and starts crying.

The Twitter post has now left peeps and parents on two opposite sides, with some saying the video shows harmless fun and the character-building of the child. Whereas others claim the man was too insensitive to the child’s feelings and even called him a sore winner.
