I remember when I was in jr. high and high school.. some coaches would put the really shitty kids into games because either their parents complained or they thought they had to play everyone. Fuck that. I didn't want to sit the bench while brace-face jimmy lost the game for us.
When I'm with my kids and they don't even try to do something I ask them to try to do it themselves. Usually they'll keep trying until they do it, when they do..I'll give them praise. I just want them to understand that they have to do things on their own sometimes as well as work for it. Every kid needs to be handled differently, but to just give them praise and rewards just so they don't get their feelings hurt is stupid.
