Dead nuts on the money. My parents expected participation and only the winners went home with anything that resembled a trophy...its funny how my generation then blew it as parents trying to worry about their kids liking them....I don't remember my mom and dad worrying all that much about me liking them and I turned out okay. I either win or lose at something, its just the way we were brought up. And the winners were expected to be gracious winners too, which as kids was pretty hard to do....but if anyone refused that, most of my generation had father's who'd set em straight off to the side. My dad called those "tune ups".I just find it ironic that its the "boomers" that bitch about participation awards, yet it all started with millennial's getting them... so who was giving those awards out? Yup. Boomers/oldest of the Gen X. Don't blame kids for the idiot stuff their parents do. Millennials were not handing out participation awards to themselves when the oldest of them were age 10.
