[quote=Anonymous]Does the coach hear this? And is okay with this? Is it possible that this kid is being more of a leader on the team and your daughter is especially sensitive to criticism? I don't agree with saying something mean back is the way to deal with a bully. I think staying calm and having her tell the bully any of the following could work. "Are you doing the best you can? I am too." "Geez, it's just a game." "I'm allowed to make mistakes." I don't know which would work with said bully, but I think sometimes just calmly responding with a truth is a quick way to shut them up. At the same time, my kids play soccer and there are things that the kids say to each other on the field that could be construed as critical or mean, but it part of playing the game. It's okay to tell someone to move somewhere. Or pass the ball. [/quote]
