[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It might not be the parents. My kid is a perfectionist. I don't know where he got it. I often encourage him to skip things or do "just enough" but it's not his personality.[/quote] I used to tell my perfectionist kid that 10 year from now, no job interview is going to worry about a B on a social studies test. She eventually internalized that but still strived for greatness (her definition) which was fine. To be honest, what really helped was pulling her out of the high pressure public (her choice) and moving her to a private people would think was college entry suicide here. She still got into a great college, did well and is excelling at her job. She’s channeled a lot of her perfectionism into martial arts, where they temper that streak.[/quote]
