[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's watching how you respond to the world and acting accordingly.

I watched how my sister passed on her fear of heights to her daughter.  I told her what she was doing and how.  She still labeled her kid as having a fear of heights.  Just like you labeled you kid as a perfectionist.  When her kid is with me there is not a fear of heights.  When she's with her family she has that fear - it's like she gets rewarded for it in a way.  My guess is your kid is being rewarded by you for behaving this way.  Don't worry though, you will have loads of mental health problems in 10 years because of this.[/quote]

What happens when your kids take on your judgmental, condescending, know-it-all behaviors? Do you need a rec for a good family therapist to help you guys address this family dysfunction? Maybe the rest of us could help.[/quote]

Some families enjoy dysfunction. Dont assume that PP wants her children to be different from herself.[/quote]
