[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP— I told my daughter to stand up for herself and start speaking up, but she’s just not that type of person. I think that’s why she’s become an easy target for a mean girl. It’s been going on for a while, and even though I keep encouraging her to fight back, it sometimes feels like she sees me as another person pushing her too hard.

Last night, on the car ride home after practice, I asked if she was even happy being on the team and playing there. Her answer was “50/50,” and she said it in such a sad voice. I can feel her pain, but I honestly don’t know what to do anymore.

Are there any coaches or programs that focus on building confidence and helping kids strengthen their mindset—both on and off the field?[/quote]

In my experience, if your DD doesn't have the right personality/"it" factor, fighting back can backfire on her as the bullies play the victim.  It really is a difficult dynamic for some girls to navigate.  My own DD quit her sport, in part, because of the mean girls.  [/quote]
