Default child suffers stress when playing competitive games

My friend's daughter has a problem with her 5-6 year old daughter.
Here's an outline .She suffers stress manifested by tears , vomiting or
toilet problems when asked to play any physical game with her peers in
school. If her Mum or Dad joins in , then no problem. She has no problem
with any competitive activity related to academic work such as spelling
test or suchlike.Only when she is asked to play any game such as musical
chairs where there is a risk of losing. She is consulting a child
psychologist but I wonder if anyone can suggest some ideas or resources for
help.

Without knowing any of the family history or the child, I would not
even venture to guess what the problem might be, from where it stems or
how to treat it. Consulting a psychologist is wise and addressing the
issues is the wisest thing that this family can do. You're a good
friend to care about them.

I suggest that the friend talk to the teacher to see what the teacher's
perspective is. It could be that the child is a perfectionist and that her
physical coordination, etc is a bit slow. Or just one or the other.
