Hi,
I am looking for some help/advice.
My 10 yr old daughter is very active doing Dance classes, Gymnastics and performing arts. This is a great outlet for her and we actively encourage her in this. The problem is that whenever anybody else recieves praise in these groups she automatically thinks this is a criticism of herself, ie, if another student is told she is good at back flips my daughter assumes that she must be bad at them. This is causing particular issues with her not wanting to attend these clubs and coming home very upset, or angry with her teachers.
I would love to know if this behaviour has a name? and if anyone else has experienced this and what you have done to support your child.
Thanks,
Matt
