Trophy Children--The Meme

Since this blog serves also as auxiliary memory, what follows is a list of news stories, newspaper columns, and blog posts  that refer to the style of parenting that produces "trophy children".

JumperGirl knows some "trophy children".  She says they aren't their own people--they have to meet their parents' expectations, or they aren't respected or loved.

Trophy Children
Earliest Citation:

Hausner says some youngsters are often "trophy children" whose parents see them as nothing more than an extension of themselves. "There is so much pressure to perform: They have to be in the best schools; they always have to look good. These parents are so narcissistic, they can't see their child as an individual, only a reflection of themselves," Hausner says. —Frances Grandy Taylor, "Children of the rich suffer from wealth and neglect," The Record (Kitchener-Waterloo), November 23, 1990

On The Thin Obession--Camille Paglia, May 13, 1997

What you correctly observe about the obsession of the urban Northeast and professional Los Angeles with female thinness is due to the rampant careerism of the cultural elite. Motherhood was systematically devalued for 25 years by mainstream feminism and its media flacks. Despite the silicone scare, breast amplification is still widely considered an enhancement, but only if unrealistically yoked to a youthful slimness of torso and hips. Maternity awards trophy children to the superachiever, but she must get her postpartum lard off as soon as possible: Witness the talk-show-audience accolades washing over sylphlike Jane Seymour for popping out those twins and shrinking herself back down in an elf's wink.

Virginia Dare, the Last Ditch, June/July 1995

If you haven't been keeping up with the angst of the thirty- and fortysomething career-track women who are finding themselves caught between the glass ceiling and their steadily advancing biological clocks, you might not be aware that a horde of otherwise sensible mothers are being held hostage by their trophy children. Women who have fought in the courts and on the picket lines for the rights to fly bombers and dine in exclusive clubs and get their heads shaved in military rituals (but not, God forbid, their legs) are apparently unable to maintain authority over their toddlers. In recent interviews in the Wall Street Journal, educated and decisive women, who ought to have better sense, admitted to strangers that they can't say no to their children. They buy them toys they don't need and allow them to eat junk food on demand because if they tell them no, they will make scenes in public.

Now, in defense of those cowed mothers, we should remember that casual passers-by no longer ignore screaming small children who are in confrontation mode with their parents in public places. Any parent who watches the nightly news knows that, at the drop of a tantrum, his home can be invaded by welfare police searching for evidence of child abuse. Still, allowing one's kids to seize the upper hand before they're out of training pants is sheer madness, and once they get bigger (or smarter) than their keepers, it's all over.

Articles on Trophy Children also appear in the Scandinavian countries (Tufte, B. (1999): Børn og tv-reklame, Danmarks Lærerhøjskole. )

Trophy children, or falling into `gifted' trap -Heller, Fran , Cleveland Jewish News , 07-14-2000

 Trophy Children and Alienation--August 2001

So long as kids do well in school or athletics or music, for example, they are trotted out as trophies by proud parents. Let them be mediocre or less than that in some of the valued variables and, somewhat like the trophy wife, they are cast aside -- but in this case alienated from their parents rather than divorced, and, feeling less valued, they may act in ways that alienate them from all but other outcasts among their peers. Maybe that's where some of the thinking of the two desperate boys in Littleton, and others who have resorted to violence, came from.

Wendy Mogel, Sex Ed for Parents April 19 2002

And then we direct our trophy children to the approved list of acceptable leisure activities. For example, we make them play difficult, bleating musical instruments. In my part of town it’s difficult to rent anything with a double reed because parents push bassoons and oboes on their middle-schoolers since offering yourself as first chair oboe is the ticket to Cornell.

Ooh, but catch your kid spending her allotted time on the frivolous — a crush, going to the Santa Monica Pier when she said she was staying at her friend’s, getting into the mildest trouble instead of conjugating French — we see all of this as a personal betrayal.

[snip]
In the fallout from our hyperparenting, we have failed to make adult life alluring. To many children, adulthood looks like no more than an opportunity to resolve complex scheduling conflicts, lose seven days a year standing entirely still in freeway traffic, periodically unfreeze the computer and fall asleep catatonic by 9 p.m. In a high school survey, one student recently wrote, "I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up, but I know what I don’t want to be. I don’t want to be like my mom and dad. They seem so sad and scared and stressed."

Perfect Children--Ellen Goodman, November 26 2002

One professor noted that New Yorkers have "redefined status distinctions to the pre-K level." But elsewhere we've gone from pre-K to prenatal. It wasn't just New Yorkers who were encouraged to give their offspring a jump start by playing Mozart to the womb.

Maybe it's baroque to worry about competitive parenting when we consider the number of neglected kids. Maybe it's foolish to worry about preschool Olympics for elite education when one out of 10 18- to-24-year-olds can't place the United States on a map.

The cost of childhood: when price is no object, raising kids can become an exercise in excess - Wealthiest Angelenos: Rich Kids

Lewis Yablonsky, a social psychologist who has examined the relationship between the wealthy and their money, says that children these days often become similar to a trophy wife -- an emblem demonstrating that the parent can afford the best.

DreamBaby Blog, March 2003

When we grew up our parents rammed their own inadequacies down our throats, pushing us to deliver academic, sporting or other excellence so they could climb the social ladder. We were trophy children, prized for that which could be projected onto us: the status we brought, rather than the needs we had; the comfort we gave, rather than the support we needed; what we were, not who we were.

As a result we are an emotionally damaged generation, addicted to anything which gives us instant gratification and the illusion of control over our lives: bulimia, anorexia, drugs, tobacco, alcohol, work, shopping. Never having known real intimacy, we seek refuge in transient gratification, situational love.

Trophy Children in Australia: Delaying Kindergarten March 2003

Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, a psychologist specialising in adolescent mental health, accuses ambitious parents of twisting Biddulph's advice to try to create "trophy children". Such parents risk overschooling small children, and even causing them anxiety and depression later.

"I'm sick to death of these parents who live their lives through their children; it's almost like they're not allowed to be anything else than perfect. It's that old concept of the hurried child - kids pushed from sport to art, music lessons, drama and tutoring.

Birthday Party Burnout October 10 2003

In an effort to stave off the tedium of the party routine, some parents have begun to super-size the parties, turning them into Hollywood-style spectacles with multiple live acts, horseback rides and petting zoos. In Los Angeles, where I live, these über-parties are fairly common, but I always suspect these extravaganzas are really more about status. At a party in a local park a few years ago, the host parents, in an attempt to add an inappropriate soupçon of sophistication, hired waiters to serve drinks from silver platters. I couldn't decide which looked sillier -- the clown on stilts or the red-jacketed men walking around offering, ''Water? Juicy Juice?''

The kids always tend to have that glazed over, lost-in-the-fun-house look on their faces at these shindigs, as if they might be happier left alone in a sandbox, while the parents, smug and self-satisfied, gloat and canter their trophy child around the house. Naturally, my kids relish these grand affairs, which make standard-issue pool parties look like bingo night in Boca Raton. And I suppose I've come to terms with the fact that Los Angeles isn't exactly the place where homespun values are nurtured. I only wish that, just once, some kid would prefer to pin the tail on the donkey rather than feed it organic hay in his backyard.

Brand-Naming Babies (Think Skyy) --November 15 2003

So what does this mean? Are children being seen in the same terms as consumer products or other possessions? Certainly, just as there are trophy wives, there are now trophy children. The desire to own a baby is driving much of the new reproductive technologies. Babes are already being bought and sold in the practice of hiring surrogate mothers.

the overscheduled child--March 9 2004

Many kids are more frenzied than ever because of overzealous parents who think the more activities a child does, the greater the likelihood of creating a trophy child: Scouts. Little League. Music lessons. Dance recitals. It's not uncommon to see a well-marked kitchen calendar of scheduled events that is just as crammed as many CEOs.

[snip]
"Kids no longer go outside and hit the baseball. They have a game. They no longer sit and color, they go to art class," Lewis tells WebMD. "There is no doubt that they are spending their time in constructive activities that provide them with fun and useful skills. But they are spending a lot time in these activities and everything is so structured that everybody is stressed. Parents spend several days a week, sometimes every day, rushing from one after-school activity to another."

And notice who's sitting in the back of that minivan.

That might explain why in the past 20 years, the number of children who participate in organized youth sports has doubled -- yet teens who try out for their high school's sports team has reached an all-time low.

"By the time they reach high school, they are bored and burned out," says Alvin Rosenfeld, MD, former head of child psychiatry at Stanford University and author of The Over-Scheduled Child. "And it's because their parents have the well-meaning idea that the right way to parent is to overschedule them, with hopes of keeping them busy, active, and out of trouble."

Trophy Children, Trophy Parents--CW Nevius, June 2004

The other point was one I hadn't considered, and it gave me a little chill of recognition. It starts with the basic premise of over-involved parents. Sometimes we cut them a little slack because we feel that they only want the best for their children. Sure, they can be obnoxious, but it is just an unfortunate by-product of caring too much about your kids.

But maybe that's not the case. One of the writers talked about the "prom queen'' mothers of the best players who sit in a group and have formed a social elite. Or the fathers who are given extra leeway and influence because their son is the star of the team.

Nothing has a more positive reflection on you than to have others admire your children. Personally, you might say, I think so-and-so is a jerk, but he's got great kids so he must be doing something right. You've seen it. When someone's son or daughter gets the hit or scores the goal, everyone turns to the parents and congratulates them.

Trophy children -- the ultimate accessory. Maybe, deep down, we push the kids to be good because it makes us look better. It sounds like a terrible concept except that it rings so true.

To be honest it is starting to look as if there is only one group who can save us from ourselves. The parents have lost all perspective, so we will have to depend on the kids themselves. They figure this stuff out much sooner than we realize. Unfortunately, that often means that they quit sports altogether, never developing any appreciation for the joy of movement. Which was the original idea. But they are probably happier.

Trophy Children--John Rosemond, September 4, 2004

Programs of this sort [preschool "academic preparation"] appeal to parents who are desperate for what I call "trophy children" - children they can brag about and who will earn them "My child is an honor student..." bumper stickers.

Giving Up on Letting Go --November 2004

Overprogrammed. Overgroomed. Overinvolved. These are just some of the words college and university administrators use to describe today's students. Many administrators blame parents who, they say, are pushy and refuse to disengage. There's practically a new lexicon to describe today's Baby Boomer parents: MBA mothers who "mommy-tracked" to become "soccer moms" and focus on their "trophy children." Don't these "helicopter parents" know when it's time to let go?

Designer Fashions for Children March 6 2005

The trend to buy top-of-line clothing for kids is gaining momentum. Although sales of adult apparel are on the decline, adults are spending a lot more money on children’s wear, coddling a $30 billion industry.

“There’s no question that my kids dress far better than I do,” said Sara Evans, a Reno mother of three.
[snip]

The market trend has been building over the years, said Nancy Steffens, owner of Little Angel Boutique Children’s Collections in Reno. Parents are now paying top dollar to clothe their kids in the same designers they’ve worn, she said.

“They want their children to reflect where their mothers and fathers are in life,” Steffens said. “Their children are a reflection of their parents.”
[snip]

“Children for all kinds of reasons increasingly have become status symbols for the upper-middle-class in our country,” said Daniel Cook, the University of Illinois professor of advertising. “Call it the trophy child phenomenon.”

Nannies and Neglected Children--Tchotchkes Blog May 28 2005

Trophy children are now up at ten PM for dinner in chichi restaurants because finally mom and dad came home from work, cocktails after work, shopping after work...and dammit they've got the money to go out to eat and dammit they're going to spend their 2 hours of quality time with their child -- when they want to and not when the child needs them.

Comment on Child Care Discussion Board Discussion Board May 16 2005

A contributing factor to aggressive behavior is the number of hours a child is left in childcare each day;each week. Children who are ALWAYS in care - withouit a break and who are stressed by having to come to care on days when they are not well, whose parents do not take responsibility for sick days and may even take every vacation without their children -are underlying reasons for a childs high stress level, aggressive behavior, and their need for therapy. Parents need to take responsibility for parenting as partners with their childcare providers. They need to see the importance of using their sick, personal and vacation days to be with their children. For many parents their children are "trophy" children - trotted out for show when necessary. In care each day for 12 hours or more five days per week and then of course with babysitters or au pairs on the weekend.

The Echo Boomers--60 Minutes, September 4 2005

Protected and polished, they are trophy children in every sense of the word.

"Everyone is above average in our generation," says Summers.

"Everybody gets a trophy at the end of the year. It's something you're used to," adds Gissing. "And you have the rows of trophies lined up on your windowsill, or whatever."

"Parents feel as if they're holding onto a piece of Baccarat crystal or something that could somehow shatter at any point," says Levine. "And so parents really have a sense their kids are fragile. And parents therefore are protecting them, inflating their egos. Massaging them, fighting their battles for them.

Meet The Brads: The Phantom Professor, July 28, 2005

Brads are the “legacies” who populate the frats their fathers and grandfathers pledged. These are the boys who run for Student Senate and glad-hand their way to easy victories. The university provost invites them to special receptions for visiting dignitaries because they will wear their crisp blue blazers and decorate the room like the shiny trophy children they are.

The Brads are beautiful. The Brads are popular. The Brads are plentiful.

If only they weren’t so dumb.

Perhaps it is nature’s way of keeping Brads from emerging as some sort of all-powerful, unconquerable super-race able to bend the rest of us to their mighty will. Beyond their astonishing good looks and ability to pick just the right shade of Polo shirt to set off their and their girlfriends’ tans, there’s just not a lot of there there with these lads.

They’re not Forrest Gump, mind you. Beneath the glossy surface, Brads are brilliant at being conniving little creeps. Think Eddie Haskell by way of Abercrombie & Fitch. They do too many shots of Patron Silver on weeknights and they expect to get their cocaine free because they are, after all, Brads. They frequent strip clubs, using fake IDs to get past the bouncer. They gamble on sports and turn in fake theft claims to their parents’ insurance for plasma TVs and satellite radios that were never stolen – using the money to pay off their debts to the bookie named Flaco who handles the action on frat house row. Porn, racist jokes and “he’s such a fag” put-downs amuse them no end. They knock up their pretty girlfriends and get Daddy to “take care of it” with a check for the abortion (and a few grand extra as hush money). They crack up the Boxter and talk mom into a new one because “it wasn’t my fault.” They ski in Aspen over winter break, scuba in the islands for a week in spring. As a summer “job,” they might lifeguard at the country club or hang out in daddy’s firm hitting on the junior interns from Vanderbilt and Tulane.

Alpha Mom Network--Profile of Isabel Kallman June 20 2005

Which leaves to be explained what it is that Isabel unleashes upon the earth. Her vision of national motherhood is grim: these “women who live in the Snow Belt, and they have just one car, and the husband drives off with it in the morning.” Isabel has known isolation like that. She wants to do something to help. Her channel will be like a support group or a church—the church of the immaculate perfection. Goal-oriented parents can go there and find comfort that they’re not alone, that others are also struggling to grow the perfect child. They’ll be told what to do and what not to do and how to do it better—discover how to boost their newborn’s coordination and strength; learn massage that “can help babies eat and sleep better”; hear “research-based explanations of how children separate and attach”; and obtain guidance on “raising overachievers.”

And when inevitably they’re frustrated in their goals, they’ll find programs for that, too: some calm high priestess of motherhood, some Oprah-meets-Martha image of perfection, coming on to absolve them for failing to be perfect today and bolstering their resolve to be more perfect tomorrow. You can do it, the message goes. You can raise “best of breed” children without ever losing your “sense of self.”

When Gen X Attacks--blog--January 26 2006

Consider the changes in family dynanics and social structure since the Generation X era and compare them with that of the Millennials (aka "echo boomers"), this new breed of anti-choice, pro-family generation born between 1982 and 1995. Since they were toddlers, they have been belted into car seats, and driven off to some form or organized wholesome group activity where they are trained to work as part of a team for the collective good of society. They are overachievers, over-managed and pressured.

Hovered over by “helicopter parents,” this band of trophy children are protected and polished like a fine piece of Baccarat crystal. None have ever ridden a bike without a helmet, ridden in a car without a seat belt, drank water from a garden hose, played anywhere unsupervised or ate in a cafeteria that served peanut butter. None have ever fought their own battles.

They have soccer Monday, King Fu Tuesday, religious classes Wednesday, clarinet lessons Thursday. In short, this is a generation that is conditioned to please. They want to please their parents, their friends, their teachers, their college admissions officers. It’s a generation in which rules seem to have replaced rebellion, convention is winning out over individualism, and values are very traditional.

Still, this new breed of brats considers themselves special because they came along at a time when society started re-valuing kids. During the ‘60s and ‘70s, the frontier of reproductive medicine was contraception. During the ‘80s and beyond, it’s been fertility and scouring the world to find orphan kids to adopt. Our culture that once looked down on kids now celebrates them.

Keeping Twins (or other Multiples) Together in the Classroom --February 24, 2006

Some see the wish of mothers and fathers to keep twins together as an extension of the trend toward parental micromanagement. "They can, in essence, be trophy children," said Bonnie Maslin, a psychologist in Manhattan. "And parents of trophy children are unusually focused on outcomes and the belief that they can control them."

Characteristics of Millenials as Employees--Chief Learning Officer, May 10

In addition, the Millennials, also called "Trophy Children" because of the strong impact that parents have in their decision-making process, feel the need to work for companies that give them a sense of "the old bakery around the corner. The place where [they] know they can find genuine products, that has made a good name for itself throughout the years, and that even [their] grandmother recognizes and approves."

Characteristics of Nexter Generation--July 29 2006

Most employers are now dealing with employees who were born after 1980. They, like other generations before them, have developed group characteristics. In order to succeed in motivating and communicating with them, we need to understand what has shaped their lives, according to several authors on the subject. The Nexters motto might be, "Give it to me straight, fast and always." They have seen older generations led (or misled) by their employers and look for organizations that fit their needs.

Is your school district set up to meet the needs of Nexters? Consider where they're coming from:

    * Nexters are the first generation that can't recall life without computers. Most of them could type well before they could form cursive letters.
    * They didn't have the benefit of family life as many of us knew it. Many were children of divorce who grew up in blended families or were raised by single parents and had to get used to quickly making and breaking important ties. Most had both parents working outside the home, so they needed to grow up quickly and learn to be independent and entertain themselves.
    * They had more material possessions and discretionary spending ability. Some researchers call them "trophy children," whose parents worked hard to provide a bountiful life and in some ways may have exchanged their presence for presents.
    * They're used to having their activities and accomplishments completely planned for them. This is the generation whose lives were planned from conception through graduate school. They were enrolled in kindergartens before they were born, and every "free hour" was filled with music lessons, soccer teams, camps, play dates and so on.
    * They see themselves very much as individuals and are accustomed to having information and teaching tailored to their needs.
    * Approximately 15 percent of the smartest college graduates today are people with diagnosed learning disabilities. Remember, these are the kids who have been mainstreamed into the educational system, regardless of handicaps.

As employers interested in the best working conditions for all staff members, it is important to remember some of these age group characteristics.

Bringing Up Boys

Increasingly, our society seems driven by an   ethos of competition and conquest. Furthermore, research   into brain development has stressed the importance of stimulation during the first three years of life. [snip]

Both phenomena have led to what Steve Nelson  (Valley News March 3 '02) describes as overinvolvement--others term if "hyperparenting;" namely, relentless pressure on children to achieve in literacy,  arts, sports---win, win, win--beginning at an early age.          

I believe, though, that overinvolvement often reflects underinvolvement, paradoxical as that seems. That    is, a consuming focus on achievement, on producing "trophy  children," leads  parents to short-change the time and  opportunity for spontaneous, unstructured          communication--those precious moments when youngsters allow          parents into their private inner worlds.

Does that mean that parental reins should be cut or greatly loosened, as Nelson proposes? I think not.  Teens do need time to dream, to play scoreless games, to  challenge themselves, to discover themselves. But our   society is riddled with noxious influences, images of   violence and sadistic sex packaged to lure youngsters whose developmentally- shaped instability renders them highly  vulnerable.

OH this resonates. This resonates. I was something of a trophy child, which left me to feel that my own needs weren't met. I often heard from others that my parents loved me, but what I felt was that they just wanted me to perform so they could look good.

When I started doing better in English than math, they punished me. They told me that I did it as rebellion against them.

It was hell.

Damn. I don't like to open that door.

[Lisa]

I'd say I have taught the shadow-trophy kids -- kids who would fall into this category if their neurological wiring fit a bit more neatly into society's plan. And I honestly can't say what is worse, to be a trophy child or to be a trophy child fallen from grace. I tend to think that the latter at least get sprung from the fiction early on, though it can be quite painful and difficult to overcome others' disappointment.

I agree that ALL of these matter, but the one that I didn’t used think was all that important (and was proven wrong about) was being prolific and writing consistently.

[Chris]

If there is one blessing to the oldest child being developmentally disabled, it is that my younger kids got a better parents.

I would have been one of those parents, because I knew my kids would be brilliant.

When my oldest was able to sit up in his high chair I played German language tapes to introduce him to his multi-lingual future. Little did I know he would need at least ten years of speech therapy and several years of special education to speak his own native language.

So I relaxed with the other two. No super-duper preschool so they could be reading novels by kindergarten, but a semi-organized play oriented preschool at the local community center. They learned to play with others, and to wash their hands. The teacher had art projects and would read them a story... and let them play in the room, in the gym or the playground. The parents had to help at least once a week.

They got to try swimming, dance, art, music and soccer. Swimming stuck with one (he is a lifeguard), and art with the other (who oddly enough is becoming multi-lingual, on her own!). They are both doing fine.
