There's a lot of different ways to do it. Some people never let the kid win (but unless you're a master, they will win sooner rather than later if they train. Kids are monsters in chess). Some people flip the board when the kid makes a mistake and ask the kid to see how to take advantage of the move they just played. Some people let the kid win once in a while.
