Would you encourage your child to tell everyone how wonderful/great/smart/ talented he or she is? Why?

Is that good parenting? Encourage a child to be supercilious/condescending/arrogant/conceited/pompous? Why on earth would you want that to be your child's MO? Why on earth would you want that to be anyone's MO?

    No need for the "every kid gets a trophy" mentality. Their actions and behaviors demonstrate that they actually are smart and talented.

    No, I tried teaching my children to be modest. (Micah 6:8) This post was edited by Autumnleaves at November 3, 2017 4:25 AM MDT

    Blowhards, braggarts have never been my cuppa tea Autumn. My son isn't one. I think if he were I would have failed miserably as a parent. Thank you for your reply and Happy Friday! :)
