[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rejection is part of life. They’re going to be rejected from colleges, jobs, by people they have crushes on, friends, all kinds of things.

If a kid takes it that hard, I’d wonder why their parents didn’t raise them to be more resilient. Sure, it hurts, but kids shouldn’t be completely devastated by it. They should be able to grieve and then move on.

Better for kids to learn the sting of rejection and how to bounce back while they’re young, rather than when they’re older and the consequences are much more severe. [/quote]
+ a million. This outcry over school sports is just another form of helicopter parenting, attempting to shield kids from any form of upset. Sports are fundamentally about competition. So are many other aspects of life. Giving everyone a trophy, or in this case a spot on the team, doesn’t build resilience. It sucks for the kids who don’t make it but there are many other ways to play sports and get exercise. And lots of other activities for kids who aren’t athletic. [/quote]
