I think kids might understand the difference between praising them for trying hard and bullshitting them. You can encourage your kid to succeed and work harder, without lying to them. "I saw how hard you ran that race, you really improved your time. You keep practicing and getting better, and you will start to score some victories." "In the meantime, you did your best. Too bad the judge is a lying cheat who favors the other team." Just kidding about the last part. But yeah, there is a sense of entitlement that has been built up in many people.
