[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Encourage her to compare herself to her own previous times rather than others. [/quote] +1. It might seem overkill for a 7 year old, but this is a time to plant seeds for her to develop her mindset. Being in an A meet one week doesn’t mean she has been anointed as a “fast swimmer” and should expect to continue to be an A swimmer. Praise her effort, not the result. Make sure your language puts value on hard work, creating goals that are not based on the performance of other kids, and developing growth mindset. [/quote]
