Awards & Engraving

In the world of youth sports, one of the most controversial topics of our time is whether children should be awarded for participation. You might often hear someone complaining that kids today are different in so many ways, often correlating back to kids receiving participation awards instead of having to work for recognition. An awards store in Baytown, Texas is discussing what psychologists have to say on this controversial issue.
