When playing chess with really young people, like your children, here is something you can do to handicap yourself to get down to an even playing field so that both you and your child can play at maximum capacity. During the setup of the game, only place out your pawns and king while your child places out all the pieces. You must now play the game with only those pieces. Once your child can beat you with that setup, then you slowly add in pieces with higher values. For example, the next game you add in a knight, then the next game: a bishop, and so on; ending with the queen as the last piece. This can be a great way to keep the game challenging for you as the adult while also giving the child a fighting chance. Not to mention the satisfaction they get when you place the queen on the board because their skill now matches or exceeds that of your own.
