My DD is a bright little perfectionist, who seems to be getting increasingly upset/stressed, both at home and at school, if she has not had chance to finish her work, or is struggling to understand something (usually maths). It usually shows at bedtime, when she relaxes and starts thinking about things, which then turns into worries. We have an excellent relationship with her teacher who is brilliant with her and who DD really likes, and we're all giving her lots of praise and reassurance, and we're doing extra practice at home with her to try and boost her confidence (but not pushing her too hard). Any suggestions on how to get her to relax and switch off at night, at the moment a dvd in bed is the only thing that seems to work, but we dont want to encourage that as she wakes up tired the next day which then makes the problem worse - we'd appreciate any suggestions
