Recently I decided to finally get down to watching Little Miss Sunshine (IMDB ). I have been postponing this for ages, to be honest the title never gave the the motivation and curiosity. On the whole the movie is great fun, wierd events that (hopefully) do not happen in reality. However, I did get the message.. and I strongly beleive in their preaching. Second place is the fist from the loosers.. How often do we tell our kids in sports or when playing games "the most import thing is participating" come on, let us all be realistic, this is not what we mean, you COMPETE to win.. FULL STOP.. if you loose then something went terribly wrong and the next time round you will make a bigger effort and win. On the other hand, I do beleive in taking a loss with pride and dignity. being a soar looser is not the right attitude for winners. Being assertive and not giving up is what makes a person a winner.

I recommend this movie to all parents out there who are not capable of directing their children to win. Learn the lesson. It is your duty to form your child's character.
