If you're (hypothetical you, not you adpiucf) blaming the parents, fine, but I have definitely read arguments where the blame gets placed on the kids. When you're 5, it's not like you have control of that...
And of course this goes for any accolades, not just literally trophies, lol |
I've always felt that it was just probably a few parents who threatened to sue the school, little league, dance team, and any thing else their kid was into if their kid was not the winner.
I think the coaches, advisors and sponsors of these groups just gave in to prevent being sued.
So, I don't think
all parents are "guilty" of ensuring their precious snowflake is always the winner.
