Any tips on how to help your child overcome perfectionism. ds1 has been totally unable to complete any of his GCSE art work in the last term because it is never as good as he wants it to be. Ironically, he is really good at art (according to his art teacher who presumably knows). He says he also has the same problem with creative writing but is still managing to do factual subjects. He has always had a strong competitive streak but his perfectionism has only become debilitating in the last year. Any ideas or tips on how to help him please. For full information he has AS and is very rigid thinking to add an extra layer of complexity into the issue.
