I would never let the achievements of other kids stop me from being proud of my own. Even if they only received one award, I would be shouting it from the rooftops. Okay, yes, I'm one of those crazy mamas lol...

But they deserved the awards they did receive and we should never let that slip by. My 7 year old recently won his Cub Scout derby race and got to go to the District race. He didn't place first there, and was so bummed. BUT, I had to remind him that he did win in his own cub scout den and that alone was a great accomplishment!
