[quote=Anonymous]The lesson I taught my kid about never being the one on the podium getting the medal was that the point of the activity was to try your best and learn how to approach an obstacle from a different angle and then try again. The lesson she taught me was that I wanted her to win while she just wanted to belong and participate. Happiness doesn't necessarily require accolades sometimes seeing incremental progress in a long struggle is a reward. I thought a lot about this two weeks ago when a friend of my DD's majoring in chemical engineering jumped off a building because the school servers were down and she couldn't turn in her homework. Being taught how to lose and regroup is just as important as winning.[/quote]
