[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the father is very wise, according to this article ... http://www.forbes.com/sites/alicegwalton/2015/03/09/parents-stop-overvaluing-your-kid-you-may-create-a-future-narcissist-study-says/ [/quote] Actually, I would think that this article says the opposite: [quote=the_article] “People with high self-esteem think they’re as good as others, whereas narcissists think they’re better than others,” [/quote] Seems to me that having your child see that every kid gets the same award gives the message that all kids are equally valued. In my experience, parents who argue against participation trophies do so because they expect that their individual kid will get some kind of more meaningful trophy. If anything, that's the kind of "overvaluing" that the study opposes.[/quote]
