TITLE Has your kid been trying as hard as they used to? If not it’s probably because they know they will automatically get a participation trophy no matter what. A debate has been raging about if there should be participation trophies for sports. I am on the side that is against participation trophies. Participation trophies aren’t the brightest thing to do, here are 3 reasons why I think so.
kids that are at a very young age should get a participation trophy. I think that four year old kids shouldn't get participation trophies. The kids have to earn it. I think that the kids should earn it because that way they work hard. If they didn't earn it they wouldn't work as hard.
title Walking off the field with a huge smile on your face from winning. The loser are over there getting trophies for participating and you think wait why I won. Recently there has been a large discussion about should all kids receive participation trophies or not. I think all kids should not receive participation trophies. There are many reasons why all kids should not get a trophy.
In paragraph 4 Mr. Abate prompted, “Watching a peer receive a trophy and not receiving one yourself can be degrading”, no kid wants to see somebody be awarded a trophy but not get rewarded themselves. If a child loses interest because they never receive a trophy they might stop playing the game or stop participating in the team building activities. Parker Abate also suggested that the trophies should be given because of the time, dedication, and effort they put in to being on the team and playing on the team, “These kids dedicate time, effort and enthusiasm, and they deserve to have something tangible to make them feel that their participation was worthwhile”, it would seem unfair to have the kids give so much for
Other people are defending the claim of children should not get rewarded with a participation trophy, while Vivian Diller says in his article, Do We All Deserve Gold? " Perhaps if we offered the gold, silver, and bronze for actual achievements, kids would learn lessons that better served their needs as adults. Perhaps if we let them lose and teach them to congratulate those who win, we would help them build the motivation and endurance needed to face real-life challenges. " Having motivation for the winners to keep on trying is needed when playing a sport; In that regard, that idea is being forgotten as we give away more participation
Kids shouldn’t get participation trophies of a number of reasons. If kids aren’t getting trophies then not getting one could encourage those kids to work harder. The kids need to understand trying their best doesn’t always mean that you need a trophy. If you lose and get a trophy you’re not going to get any better because then you will think that losing is okay. Another reason why they shouldn’t get participation trophies is because it could give younger children the wrong impression.
A better way to acknowledge participation other than a trophy is a certificate or a ribbon .I think when a child gains a trophy they have a better sense of accomplishment and appreciation for their hard and dedication.
I’m honestly glad some people’s hard work get paid off in some way, even if they don’t come in first. It’s how these trophies are put into place that grinds m gears. If it’s confined to the younger grades, there isn’t a problem. But if you put it in higher grades, in high school sports teams for example, it becomes an issue that needs to be addressed.
value. When I asked Mrs. Norman, a coach at Deridder High School, why she personally felt that participation trophies affect children, she responded, “From experience, I’ve realized that handing out a trophy to children makes them think that they will get rewarded for doing nothing, and that is not how life works at all. You have to put the work in. ”If every young player receives a trophy for merely showing up to practice, and playing games, the exceptional players are slighted. The same applies to teams.
Children should not receive trophies just for participating. It teaches them bad life lessons and can set them up for failure in the long run. Giving children participation trophies can give them the wrong kind of praise. A player who demonstrates a bad attitude on the rare occasions that he or she shows up can be unfair to their team mates.
There is a variety of reasons why participation trophies are a bad idea to kids sports. My first reason to not give them out is because the pride of winning and getting a trophy should be earned. No matter what sport or how old you are, you should be taught hard work. To get a trophy, you should work hard all season to win the
Should youth athletes receive participation trophies? According to the " Trophies for All" policy, youth athletes are being rewarded with participation trophies. This isn't fair to youth athletes. An athlete that only does what is required shouldn't be rewarded the same as an athlete that helps the team much more. Another reason why participation trophies are unnecessary is because after being given so many participation rewards, the eventually begin to lose their value.
Participation Trophies: The Damage That Is Nearly Impossible to Cure Among Today’s Youth The common ending to a game or event for children, sometimes even adults, is the distribution of a trophy or ribbon to all those who participated. Participation trophies affect an adolescent’s motivation. If a trophy is awarded to those that win and those that lose, then there is no real difference between the winners and losers.
In today’s society, more and more kids are getting participation trophies for doing nothing except showing up. Yes it is important to teach kids to do their best, but being awarded just for being as good as you already are doesn't give kids the motivation to make themselves even better. Why would they want to improve if they already have that shiny trophy? I do not believe that participation trophies should be handed out like they are.
