[quote=Anonymous]This is about so much more than volleyball. Your kid needs help. Help in dealing with disappointment, help in managing and not feeling embarrassed. That's a big clue. Her hurt feelings are going straight into a judgement about herself as a person and she's retreating into herself. It's a specific way some children (especially girls during a vulnerable age) get wrapped up/focused on a specific event/concern and it goes straight into feeding underlying insecurity and undermines their self identity. Please have her talk to someone. About how to navigate these feelings, work through them and participate in the life she has. Not making the team does not not label her as a failure and she needs to see that but may not be able to without help. [/quote]
