[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 7 year old DD wouldn't do the first or third, but would do the second. More than a few of her friends would do the others, though, so I'd say normal. [/quote] +1 She's competitive. Sports kids are big on bravado and talking smack but it's good you are aware to guide her into being aware of the feelings of others (are they participating in the smack talk and is it harmless or is one side quiet). Kids love to say they're the fastest, best... but some kids are sensitive to that and will feel those words as a condemnation or take it to heart and maybe believe they can't play well or are just bad at art and get frustrated. It's important that she know this and you’ll probably have to remind her all the time. I have one of each kid and they find their tribe but right now you have a great opportunity to help her be aware[/quote]
