So my 14U DD is a very hard working perfectionist, who thinks errors or mistakes are the end of the world, hung head, tears, . . . She can make 10 tough plays in a row but make 1 error and it's on, no throwing of bats or helmets, just flat out sulking. Our family mantra for sports is to do your best and give your best effort, perfection is not expected nor obtainable, so we apply very little performance pressure.
With that all said, it did get a lot better last summer and during fall Jr. High SB ball, fine through basketball season, but completely came apart during school volleyball. We have an appointment with a therapist, but as a parent what can we do to help her through this other than continuing to tell her we love her and that we are proud of her?
Thanks in advance
