Another tread on here has made me want to ask a q of my own.
I am a Perfectionist, and have had anxiety and depression partly I believe as a consequence.
DD is showing signs of perfectionism at age 5. I would really like to give her the right tools to deal with this throughout her life and have been thinking if ways to do so. So far I have come up with : consciously modelinga 'good enough' attitude; verbally reassuring her that things don't have to be perfect; offering constructive criticism where appropriate about minor things si the gets used to the idea that everyone gets things wrong sometimes.
Does anyone have any other ideas of what I could be doing?
