Good for him! I agree, just because you join a team does not mean you earn a trophy. We need to stop teaching kids they “deserve” or are “entitled” to anything. Life is not going to hand you anything, we must earn what we get. Be it a trophy or a job, we must teach our kids to work hard for what they want…
“While I am very proud of my boys for everything they do and will encourage them till the day I die, these trophies will be given back until they EARN a real trophy.”
