Good Article on "Perfectionism"
posted 4/4/24 by Dr. Brown
We all want our children to be successful in life, but with all the pressures put on children and students, things may backfire and cause undue anxiety in children. The American Academy of Pediatrics has put out a nice article about avoiding the Pitfalls of Perfectionism.
A nice statement taken from the article is: instead of saying, "I just expect you to do your best," say something like: "All I expect is for you to put in a good effort. I care less about your grades and more about the fact that you are learning".
Here is a link to the that article:
