My son got a participation medal a few years ago for soccer, he was around 10 years old. I asked him if he wanted to hang it up. He said ‘No, I didn’t earn it.’ I was very proud, he understood then and still does.

Don’t forget, this is a parent problem - kids didn’t invent participation trophies, parents did. Losing is often harder on parents than the kids; it’s easier to give a participation trophy than to do the hard work of parenting.
