[quote=Anonymous]I was a lot like your DD as a child. I *hated* change and I was a perfectionist. I remember the extreme anxiety, even panic, of when I was trying to do something and not succeeding according to my expectations. It would be great for your child to be able to see a counselor and talk through some of these things, because as life goes on and becomes ever more challenging and complicated, she will truly need to know how to deal with these feelings in a healthy way. In the meantime, as much patience and compassion as possible would be my recommendation -- don't rush to the conclusion that this is only "drama" and attention-seeking. Bet wishes![/quote]
