Yes, muffy, every child, every person is a "winner." But requiring that everyone is seen as equally the same in every aspect of life is not healthy. To make it so that everyone receives an award, or no one does, is not healthy.

Children need to be shown that they don't need the trophy, they don't have to always have a ribbon, to prove that they are valued and important. By not receiving a physical reward shouldn't mean they are any less of a person. That's part of where society has gone wrong. Overprotecting our children is just as wrong as not protecting them. Life is difficult at times, and the world a hard place. Sending them out into it thinking they will always receive a reward for their efforts is just plain wrong, and psychologically damaging. imo
