[QUOTE="nvts, post: 161684, member: 3814"] Hey Christine! I'm sorry to hear about her friend. I think what I'd do is ask her coach for a sit down and discuss what's going on. It could be a little dose of PTSD going on. Think about it. This was her friend. Her friend was doing something sanctioned by adults. Her friend was doing something that easy child does. Her friend was seriously injured. Does it look like the friend will be permanently injured or show signs of full recovery? Right now (even though she might not even be aware of it) her faith in herself and the adults involved may be shaken. Kids tend to internalize that type of thing because they don't want to appear that they can handle it and that they trust us, but right now she's rethinking what she's doing. Once you talk to her coach, all 3 of you should sit down and discuss it. Make sure that the two of you validate her concerns and don't try and minimize how scary this sort of thing is to a kid her age. She's fragile right now and this could really help her cope. Let us know how it goes! Beth [/QUOTE]
