Adults must teach kids to stand on their own two feet. It’s much easier to blame others or to compare situations, but they should be using that energy to compete. Teach them to take responsibility for their actions & earn what they want. It’s a lesson with a lifetime of benefit!
Parents: The world doesn’t care about your child’s feelings. When they’re given trophies for showing up, it teaches them that happiness depends on outside factors, but it doesn’t. They won’t be successful until they can lose, get past the hurt feelings & still come back tomorrow!
