[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is 12 and has always struggled with emotional regulation. We’ve generally worked on some decent strategies in life but the one situation I  haven’t figured out is post game disappointment. There’s lots of drama the ride home (we’re horrible, I did the worst ever, I never get better, …). She could’ve scored the winning goal and it won’t matter, she rarely comes off the field without being extremely self critical or critical about the teams performance.

I’ve come to understand it’s a lot of venting so I just keep my mouth shut and listen. But are there better strategies to help her before she gets to this point? Do some people just need a cool down period? [/quote]

Is the coach saying similar things?

When I coached we NEVER discussed the game immediately after, win or lose. Instead we went over everything first thing at the next practice.

I suggest putting a no talking about it/24 hour rule. Be sure to tell her that her feelings are not valid and she needs to sleep on it to get more perspective.[/quote]
