4yo has wants to be the best at everything

Hello everyone!

Just came back from talking to the teacher at my 4yo's school. Basically yesterday a parent called my husband and told him that my son was being mean to his kid. We are appreciate that they called us to let us know and we went to see how we can solve this issue with the teacher.

Surpringly to us, the teacher said that there has been no issue with this specific child, and that he plays with him normally. However, she did mention that my son has a big ego, and that he often gets upset if someone else does something better than he does (like, if someone can run faster, etc), and that they are trying to teach him to celebrate other people's achievements as well.

I agreed with the teacher to do a sit down to talk about it, hopefully still this week, but I wanted to know if anyone here dealt with something similar? How can I help him to understand that he doesn't have to be the best at everything?
