[quote=Anonymous]I am not a perfectionist and do not have anxiety. When my son was a toddler I saw that he was a perfectionist. I did everything you're currently doing. I always said "you can't do it *yet*" like the pp mentioned. There's no way to know how effective the things I did were. He was able to try new things and be bad at them and he had things he was good at. But I sense this deep undercurrent of anxiety that keeps him from really trying. If I could go back I would try to find him a really good therapist. He did try therapy a few times but I never found the right one. Anxiety runs in the family. I have another child with anxiety but it presents differently. She has had many many years of therapy and medication which has helped enormously. [/quote]
