We switched gyms earlier this year from a place where it was the norm for kids to be treated badly if they messed up, be sent to climb the rope if a skill was missed or to be sent to condition if they didn't get something right.
Since the switch my dd has felt she can't make mistakes, gets upset when she messes up, and feels like she isn't any good. She has been crying at practice when she can't get something even though coaches have talked to her about how it's ok to make mistakes and that everyone does.
Season starts next month and we are at a loss as to what to do/say to help her.
Any advice?
