[quote=Anonymous]This is because every kid from this generation has always gotten a medal or blue ribbon for just showing up. The harm in this is not only teaching entitlement but that the emphasis is on the end game and what you accomplish. The accolades! There is a reason she is having a tough time with this. It’s because somewhere down the line she began to equate personal worthiness with achievement. This is a recipe for disaster! Try having her get a hobby that she enjoys that is more about the process than the end product. Or have her volunteer to help individuals with disabilities to gain some perspective. [/quote]
