Girl parents proclaim that their daughters are THE PRIZE, but as parents of a son, we declare that he is A GIFT.
A PRIZE
1) Implies winning or achieving something: A prize is often earned or sought after. It can suggest a competitive or transactional element.
2) Focus on external validation: The value of a prize is often determined by others' perceptions.
3) Can create pressure: Labeling someone as a "prize" might inadvertently put pressure on them to maintain a certain image or standard.
A GIFT
1) Implies unconditional love and acceptance: A gift is freely given without expectation of return.
2) Focus on intrinsic value: The worth of a gift is often found in its uniqueness and the thoughtfulness behind it.
3) Promotes gratitude and appreciation: Recognizing someone as a gift fosters a sense of gratitude for their presence in one's life.
