That strongly depends on the kids surroundings. For example, the parents mentality, the way they raise the children, if they are raised in a rich family or in a high developped country etc
@DollySummers Look the kid is not going to care or remember in the future if he’s younger than 7 but if he’s old enough to remember he won’t care unless his parents emphasize on the idea that “he tried” but we live in a world where if you don’t compete you drown and besides “health, kindness, love, nurture” does are the things listed above and all those things can be provided by the parents not trophies if kids get those from trophies there’s something wrong and besides when I was little I didn’t get a trophy for playing soccer when I was young not even a medal and what did I do try harder the next year and sports aren’t about “kindness, love, etc” they are rough and they will teach a kid to be rough and hard for the cruel world that is ahead of them because like I said “if you don’t compete you drown” and adding emotion to sports is a bad idea unless those feelings are for the love of the sport

I opened this question over a minute ago and I've yet to receive a trophy. I feel triggered.
When you go to a school and watch kids who are barely cognizant getting academic awards, I would have to concur.
When I grew up in the 70s, trophies meant something because they were given to the best. That was the central purpose.

I don't know. Do you know how many unearned trophies I have? Zero.
Some of them I got when I though I was going to die.
Adults don't get enough trophies. Who wouldn't enjoy receiving a golden statue for simply showing up to work?
How is this any different than handing out certificates of "Excellence" for some BS class or training you've taken at work?
Participation trophies, safe spaces, no punishment, it's no wonder that the younger generation can't handle losing or rejection
It's nonsense like that which helped to create special snowflake syndrome
Yes We do

Heck no. Children need this list:
-Encouragement
-Education
-Fun
-Health
-Understanding of finances
-little kiddy jobs
- kindness
- love
- nurture
- progress
Yeah but a trophy for participating is not something to be proud of it’s just sad that’s what it is
No it isn’t. Cuz it means they’ll work harder. There’s should just be way more duller.

They get a fucking trophy for showing up. What happened to actually earning something?
Yes - especially those that don't really deserve one (aka participation trophies).
Trophies shouldn't exist. Winning is enough of a reward.
okay i honestly never recall getting a participation trophy before.
Teaches kids that you don't have to try cuz losing is rewarded too
because everyone has to be a winner... parents of those children are raising pussies who expect everything to be handed to them.
You can't tailor to children. You need to teach them that there are losers when they are you going so they don't grow up thinking they are so good.
in any comptetition where will be a winner and a loser
Is a belt to the butt a trophy?
Add in some slaps as well.
