Episode #88 Everyone Wants A Medal, Even Your Kids!!!

Everyone Wants A Medal, Even Your Kids!!!

Had a conversation with my daughter the other week about games being meant to Win

Then I come home today and my kids are doing a coloring contest

My wife is buying some time for herself so she can get dinner ready

The timer goes off and my wife tells me Im the judge

I immediately go from everyone doesnt get a medal mentality

To naturally wanting to tell all three that they did great and they all deserve to win

Very weird feeling for me, I am in the boat of you earn what you get

Hard work, discipline and dedication reaps the rewards that you want and achieve for

My 3 kids are 8, 6, 3.5

When it comes to coloring there are 3 obvious ability levels, so the field is not exactly fair

But what in life is exactly fair, right?

So, as I had these weird feelings going through me

I didnt just hand out a participation medal to everyone, even though I kind of wanted to

I declared a Winner, gave some tips and pointers to the Losers on what they can do to improve

A hug, and a kiss and told them to keep it up and continue work at it

Interesting lesson for myself and the kids and they responded great
