People should be rewarded for winning, not merely participating. Which is the strongest evidence to support the claim? On giving out participation trophies, parenting blogger Allison Slater Tate writes, "There is something to teaching kids that it is worth keeping commitment, that we value this. Winning and losing is not a lesson that kids need to search out to find. It's everywhere." Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison took away his children's participation trophies, posting on Instagram that he wouldn't give them back until his sons earned real trophies by winning. Chris Hudson, founder of the website Understanding Teenagers, warns, "Ironically,participation medals don't build confidence, but they do create entitlement, Confidence and resilience don't come from false praise or rewarding normal behavior."
