The art is to differ between the purpose of an compliment. An deserved compliment which comes from pure heart or is a mark up for special performances, every child should already learn to acknowledge and pay tribute without comparing to the own achievement. But I can understand, that an calculated compliment, which has another purpose, mostly it is about power and having own advantages is a good reason to get a red head!

It now seems standard to give all children a prize, or star, or certificate, or praise, just in case anyone’s feelings are hurt by individual success!
