[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 511362, member: 11001"] Well it sure doesn't help AG. Self-esteem comes from within. It sure isn't something we create by giving them rewards they don't earn. The whole philosophy of not competing and not giving rewards is bunk. This is a constant issue at the school where I teach. Our society works on these premise-we cannot turn that around. Our kids have to be ready to compete-fail-and pick themselves up. The entitlement is our fault too. I did not want to be like my hardnosed parents. I did not want my kids to struggle the way I did to get through college. What do I have? Two smart capable kids who may never go to college! While I tried to give consequences and support any given by the schools-I still made life too easy apparently. [/QUOTE]
