You see all these parents and even teachers now a days doing everything they can to make sure every child is comfortable. Personally, I think George Carlin was right about this idea of child worship. Seriously, when a kid comes in last in a race, tell it like it is. Kids these days never get to hear the words "you lose.". Now, I don't know what you think, but isn't it better to let kids know they lost, rather than everyone being a winner. Besides, if you hadn't noticed, if everyone is a 'winner' then what is the point of things like competition? Would you give every olympic athlete a medal? No. So why give all kids ribbons and trophies if they didn't win? It makes no sense.
How are kids supposed to grow up never being told they lost? I'm not saying poking fun and calling them a loser, but losses build character. I don't know about you, but I think that kids who 'never lose' would just grow up to be arrogant assholes. How are they gonna handle getting older. You tell them they lose and they have no idea how to handle it. You wanna be good parents? Tell your kids how it is, and don't sugar-coat things like winning and losing. It's better for them.
