How your struggling & disorganized child might be a secret perfectionist
with Elisheva Schwartz
When most people think of a perfectionistic child, they think of high achieving. “Type A,” organized and well groomed. Often terms like “she’s such a perfectionist” are thrown around as casual compliments, yet the psychological research on perfectionism paints a vividly different picture.
Perfectionists can be dishevelled, absent-minded, disorganized, and struggling to stay afloat. Perfectionism is never helpful and is often at the root of students’ disengagement, low motivation, risk aversion and fear of showing up.
In this talk, we’ll discuss how you can help your children break through their perfectionistic impulses to learn how to show up, take risks, be seen, stay motivated and engaged and become resilient in the face of disappointment.
