Trophies( 奖 杯 ) were once rare things.. Trophies and prizes are almost a given. One Maryland summer program gives awards every day and each player gets one. Trophy sales are now a $3 billion-a-year industry in the United States and Canada.
Some research has been done on the effects of praise and awards on kids. Although kids can be highly driven by awards, nonstop recognition does not inspire children to succeed..
Carol Dweck, a psychology professor at Stanford University, found that kids respond positively to praise; they enjoy hearing that they're talented, smart and so on. . Disappointed by their failure, they say they'd rather cheat than risk failing again.
, even if they are good at something; they've got to get used to that to keep going. When children make mistakes, our job should not be to make up those losses into decorated victories. Instead, our job is to help kids overcome failures, to help them see that progress over time is more important than a particular win or loss.. We also have to stop letting the Trophy Industry run our children's lives.
A. Let's fight for a kid's right to lose
B. Instead, it can cause them to underachieve

F. They will know improvement, character and hard work are to be valued
