[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What helps your tween/teen who battles with perfectionism, especially when it comes to schoolwork? DC is obsessed with getting all A's and struggles with handing in assignments that are "good enough."[/quote] We're dealing with the same issue. The driving issue for my teen is anxiety, which we're addressing with therapy and meds. I've tried to explain it's not necessary (or expected by us) to routinely spend hours and hours every day on homework. Sometimes DC gets up at 5 a.m. after spending several hours the night before. And this isn't just for big tests or papers, it's for routine, low-stake assignments. I'm worried about burn out and mental health. It's so frustrating and worries me to no end.[/quote]
