Parents like me wish to showcase our children’s accomplishments not only to show others how proud we are of them but also to make them feel that we value their accomplishments, no matter how small. Parents keep soccer trophies, plaques from art competitions, certificates from essay-writing contests and the likes as a reminder of how valuable their children’s accomplishments are, academically and non-academically.
