[quote=Anonymous]I have one kid with ADHD and dyslexia and a different kid with anxiety. My kid with ADHD/dyslexia wouldn’t do this tryout practice thing, but my daughter with anxiety would absolutely do that in order to self sabotage. When she is feeling pressure and that she may not make a team or do well in something she will often self sabotage by doing something like not going to a practice. Then if she doesn’t make the team, it isn’t that she wasn’t good enough, it is that she didn’t go to the practices. She was doing this subconsciously I think. I found naming it explicitly helped a lot. [/quote]
