She is generally a easy going kid, has a few pet peeves but nothing like the irrational state she goes into when driving to a game or practice.
Her team has a very strict rule about not arriving late for a practice or warm up, otherwise they risk losing game time. I am glad for the rule, but as a result she is having some very intense reactions. She wants to arrive 30 minutes before the announced time of the warm up. Her team requires players be ready to start warming up 1 hour and 15 minutes before game time. I don't want to have arrive 1 hour and 45 minutes before game time.
Yesterday we were minutes away from the field, and close to 15 minutes before the required time to be there. She had a minor fit. She started yelling, squirming around in her seat belt, and being sharp, and rather nasty to everyone in the car.
This only happens with softball. She is also on a swim team and she definitely wants to arrive early, but does not behave like she does before anything to do with softball. Softball is her first love, so I know it is most important to her, but this is becoming unbearable.
Anyone have an similar experience, and did you find a solution you could share?
