Why Should Kids Get Trophies

Should Kids get Trophies? Do you do things for the fun of it or for a prize? Many kids think they should get a trophy. Parents think otherwise they think getting a trophy is sending the wrong message. Trophies aren’t for everyone and everything, because trophies lose their meaning if everyone gets one, also trophies aren’t effective ways for coaches to bribe the team to do better, and you should do things for fun not for a prize. Trophies aren’t effective ways for coaches to bribe the team to do better. “Receiving a pat on the back or a thumbs-up from a coach… any show of appreciation is what keeps kids coming back.” “Kids need to know they don’t need to win every time. It’s O.K. to lose, to make a mistake.” I can relate the evidence
with the reason, because you don’t need a trophy to keep playing. A student doesn’t get a trophy just for coming to class. “It’s through failure and mistakes we learn the most.” “We must focus on process and progress , not results and reward. I can connect the because if you get a trophy you think you're perfect and you can’t mess up you think it’s the end of the world. To sum it up kids who get a trophy don’t learn what’s right and wrong. Your kids need to learn to fail. What is the point competing for a trophy if everyone gets one. Think about what’s best for your learning from mistakes or being miserable. “A trophy carries dust. Memories last forever.”
