A narcissistic generation?

I love "paper plate" awards for this reason. Every child gets one, and you can use them to praise true excellence and also to motivate the slackers in a way that isn't too disparaging. it's a happy medium. Kids aren't failed, but for those who aren't the best, their award relates to some other aspect of them rather than their prowess in the task at hand and the coach says how they should apply that skill to the task next year/season.....
