DD is on the soccer field and trash talking the goalie. Last year she was afraid to get on the field. Where did thus kid come from?

That's not good sportsmanship. Are you going to allow this?

Isn't this the same kid that wets the bed? Don't mean anything by it, just a little amused that a kid who wet the bed not too long ago is trash talking on the soccer field.

That's not good sportsmanship. Are you going to allow this? not necessarily....depends on what's being said. and at her age, I can't imagine it's anything all that offensive. the point of trash talking is to get into your opponent's head. you bash their skills and make them second guess themselves. that's all absolutely the mental part of the game, any game. go DD! get in his head and score a goal!

What chiver said. I think it's great if the kid has some fire in her and rather than cry to mom about it gives it back to the other kid. I realize we've got a generation of youngsters raised on gold stars and participation ribbons but in the real world you take crap and you can't be too thin skinned or it will eat you up.

She probably got the nerve to do it when she saw her mother decide to strike out on her own and start her own law firm.

I think it's great, it shows she's involved in the game and wants to get an edge. Now when she starts high kicking with her cleats, throwing elbows or tripping, you might need to reel her in. A red card every once and awhile isn't a bad thing. Wait until she gets in high school, those kids really take a beating. I have two playing in HS now, a little extra aggression would probably help them play better.
She probably learned it from playing FIFA on X-box.

Good for her! As long as she's not going overboard, I think girls showing some aggression in sports is great. Plus, it shows she's confident!

Lol! So funny! My daughter never cared enough about sports to trash talk anyone. Because she did travel cheer and gymnastics and also went to a charter school, she knew a lot of kids from different areas so every game she was up against at least a few friends. My kid never trash talked, just chit chatted...during. The.game! Drive my husband nuts!lol

We as a group should do a parody of the song Jive Talking except it's trash talking.

'Her school buddy' wasn't prestigious enough? because she left a tiny little private school that closed and is now at a big public school. These kids were really close last year. Nothing about prestige, all about the relationships.

Can't remember how old your DD is? Did her coach overhear any of it? DD played soccer in Jr/Sr High school and rugby in college. DH and I were usually confident that the coach would handle it, but were always willing to deal with it at home after the game if necessary. (She's 28 now so we don't say ANYTHING anymore.. ) Her Junior year they were playing a regular season soccer game at Attica HS. She had a girl on her back when she had the ball. She stood straight up and the girl flipped over onto the ground. DD got a yellow card. Came fuming off the field spewing....".if you can't take a hit don't play soccer". Or something to that effect. The coach was a wise and patient man. After she calmed down, he had a nice little chat with her. She never shared it but DH and I were satisfied. P.S. DS played hockey....not as much trash talking with a mouth guard and being out of breath for skating up and down the ice for a 2 minute shift.

Well, good for her for being involved! I was thinking she's still fairly young, right? If so, at least she's invested in the actual game and knows what is going on. My grandson's baseball team (8 & 9 year olds) was such a vast array of maturity and interest level it was comical: some kids thought they were still playing t-ball, some kids had NO idea whether they were winning or losing or even what the score was (yes, thankfully, they kept score) and some kids were so intense you'd think they were heading for the major leagues.

My son's baseball coach tell me that he had never had a shortstop that did so much trash talking to baserunners. I just blamed it on his dad. So you have my permission to blame it on Mr. IcedSwamp!! ETA: Can't believe I misspelled coach!!!!!

DD is 6
I don't know if the coach heard it. But Jack's dad did. He didn't say a word. Dad is a HScoach

Oh, come on, like you never trash-talked other swimmers. Heck, my kids swam on a rec level team. Even they wrote "Eat my bubbles" and "Follow me" on their backs and they weren't much older than your DD. Embrace it. Encourage it (to an appropriate degree). No one will ever take advantage of your DD if she has the tools to stand her ground.
