71. Best of the Podcast: Perfectionism in Teens

Summertime is a perfect time to dive into some of the best episodes of the raising happy teens podcast that you may have missed.  This week, I’m repairing episode #3, which is all about perfectionism.  Even if you’ve heard it before, I encourage you to listen.  Now that your teen is older, things may have changed.  And something that didn’t resonate before. Join me in this episode as I delve into the world of perfectionism and explore practical strategies to help your teenager overcome its grip.  From unrealistic expectations to fear of failure, I’ll uncover the signs and effects of perfectionism.  I’ll also explain the distinction between high achievers and perfectionists, and provide you with tools to help your teenager manage perfectionism and learn to challenge negative self-judgments.  -- ⁠Join my free parent group⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Apply to work with me⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram
