Thank you so much for all your advice. DD has gotten so much better about the crying. Now she is only crying when a certain team mate is forcing her to do things she doesn't want to do. So that being said I am now teaching her to stand up for herself. Being the youngest when 8 year olds are picking you up and trying to MAKE you do things that you have gotten hurt doing, makes for tears. So the coach is working on seperating the two to help.
I saw DD actually giving a little attitude to the team mate when she was trying to "help" dd. A part of me was happy that she was telling her to leave her alone. Finally she left her alone. I am hoping they can find a happy medium if you know what I mean. I want my baby to learn how to handle these situations herself.
Also being the baby she does have a special role in the gym and she does get a lot of attention and hugs from everyone. So I do think this adds to her behavior.
I know one team coach was working with her one night and asked me what was up with her tears she cries when she is scared and then she is crying because she is happy she got a new skill. In the coaches words she is a "silly but cute girl" I have to say she was wonderful with her and DD got two new skills with her so it was a good tear day. (I don't mind tears of happiness) LOL
