[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i didn't allow my kids to accept them.[/quote] 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.[/quote] So rude, do you encourage her to give back other gifts she doesn’t like?[/quote] NP. It's not rude at all; after all, it's not meant to be a gift. [b]It's a "reward" for just showing up[/b]. My kids don't accept these either, and they are happy to tell the coach or teacher why.[/quote] Showing up is 80 percent of life. No "just" about it.[/quote] Right. But you don’t get- or shouldn’t expect- a trophy for it. It’s the minimum standard. [/quote]
