The trophies/awards that each kid gets at the end of the season for sports when they are very young, like elementary school age and younger.

How long do you keep them?

Mostly true for us as well. If the adults were insistent, she accepted it, but gave them away. She still resists the hoopla over just showing up.

These stop? I mean, they give medals for every freaking adult who runs a race longer than 10K these days. It's absurd.

My daughter redid her room when she was 13. We repainted, she got a new dresser, and she went through everything. She wasn't quite ready to get rid of things, but things like her participation trophies went into storage in the garage. About a year later when we were cleaning out the garage, she went through those boxes and got rid of her participation trophies.

So rude, do you encourage her to give back other gifts she doesn’t like?

My kid just turned 14 and still plays the sport. I just asked if he wanted the old participation awards and the answer was nope. Into the trash they went. (Before somebody bugs me about giving them to charity, nobody wants dumb plastic trophies.)

My kid was a HS and college swimmer. No participation trophies in either. As for those trophies from years gone by...garbage dump.

I was in a storage room in the basement recently and was amused to see DS who is in college had thrown all of his in a box and stashed them in a corner. I thought, “good got him!”
