[quote=Anonymous]"Im sorry you're feeling like that. It sounds hard". "I love you and im here for you". "How can i help?" I would use the last one sparingly depending on the situation and maybe reference back. Being dismissive or trying to fix it backfires as it feeds the "i cant manage myself" feeling. My kid is little and i praise effort and trying to figure out hard stuff no matter if she succeeds. Perfectionism is very dangerous and ive experienced it and went down the path of not even trying and freezing up in front of challenges (academic and social). [/quote]
