Are we raising confident children… or children who expect applause for simply showing up?

In this episode of Since Nobody Want to Say It, I tackle a conversation that makes many parents uncomfortable: the growing tendency to overreward mediocrity. From participation trophies to celebrating the bare minimum, have we blurred the line between encouraging our children and teaching them that effort, excellence, and accountability matter?

This isn't about being harsh or withholding love. It's about preparing our children for a world that won't always hand out rewards for attendance.
