Maybe I read it wrong but she kind of goes against the point she's trying to make, doesn't she? J was so proud of the trophy because it was unexpected and he placed quite a bit of value on it. If every kid got one then why would he think he'd achieved anything? Wouldn't he just think, "yeah they gave all the kids one. I'm not so special."
As far as sports participation trophies- I know my kids know exactly what they are. They don't consider it any kind of actual award. It's just a sort of certificate of completion.
But they know full well the games they won and the games they lost with or without the trophy. Even before they teams kept a formal score all the kids know the score.
