Handling Kids' Perfectionism

What’s a parent to do when you notice your child’s perfectionism?

You watch your child yell “It’s awful!” and rip up their perfectly good drawing or scream “I’m the worst reader ever!” after mispronouncing one word on a page.

In this video, I walk through a concrete strategy that *does* help - and I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up helping you along the way, in changing your relationship with your own self-critical voice.
