[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know,OP, it's not uncommon for schools to give awards monthly with kids taking turns getting them.[/quote] How about no awards? How about just let the children thrive and flourish without constant comparisons and competitions?[/quote] Perhaps these awards are not about comparing children but rather rewarding children for good behavior. What is wrong with that? My son's K employs a color system. Green is obvious. Yellow is a warning. Red comes after 2 warnings and Blue is a note home or you get sent to the principal's office. At the end of last week he and ALL the kids who were on green all week received a small token for their accomplishment. The kids didn't get the "award" for being better than the other kids but rather for doing what they were supposed to do. OP needs to be less concerned about what other kids unless she wants to teach DD to constantly compare herself to others. [/quote]
