Q&A: How can I support my child who struggles with perfectionism?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode Dr. Emily Upshur and I talk about...

- How to understand what is really happening when a young child becomes intensely frustrated or self critical.

- Why perfectionistic behaviors in early childhood are often developmentally normal and when they may begin to impact confidence or emotional well being.

- What to do in the moment when your child is dysregulated and why reassurance, praise, or growth mindset language often does not land when emotions are running high.

- How staying curious about your child's negative self talk can actually support resilience and self awareness over time.

- Ways to protect your child's inner voice and self esteem without trying to rush her out of uncomfortable feelings.

If your child gets stuck in frustration, takes mistakes personally, or is hard on themself, this episode will help you learn how to support their long term emotional growth.
