Matthew - Must Win Attitude

I decided to look at this issue more positively. Matthew has a must-win-attitude, which is making him very upset over little things. Everything must be done his way, correctly. Otherwise, he'll be very very angry and start whining.

We can see that when it comes to detailed colouring. There is this spiderweb which he was colouring. The widths of the web lines are very narrow and it's definitely very easy to colour out of line. No matter how many times we tell him that it is ok to colour out of line, he gets upset each time it happens.

Then earlier, he was playing an online Thomas Tank Engine race, where he was supposed to use his finger power to manuoveur the engine using left right arrow keys. When he lost, he got angry and upset and shouted for help. When Mike helped him and lost the race, all hell broke loose.

Is it a Must-Win-Attitude or Scared-of-Failure(Losing)-Attitude?
