[quote=Anonymous]I think you should encourage your daughter to discuss this with her therapist. I also think you should openly discuss with her how you set boundaries between work/life, ie don’t answer personal texts during the work day etc. I have never researched why teenaged girls connect through this negative self talk but I think it is common. I ran indoor track in the 90s. You had a fair amount of time to talk to your competition as you were put in heats in advance so the meet could run smoothly. Girls had had discussions like I am so tried, it is going to be like I am carrying a refrigerator the whole race. Next girl, “well I have my period so it is going to be like I am carrying a refrigerator and a dish washer.” (In contrast, I swear the boys would be saying things like “I drank until 2:00am last night and I am still going to smoke you in the final stretch…”)[/quote]
