Do you have a child who struggles with perfectionism? Maybe, you’re not quite sure . . . 

Parenting a perfectionistic child can be overwhelming and confusing, especially because perfectionism isn’t just for the stereotypical overachiever. 

For years, I’ve heard from parents who want to know what to do with their kids who are terrified of failure. That’s why I invited two experts to share their advice this week. 

Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife and Carolyn Bever share their personal and professional advice on HOW to parent and empower perfectionistic children. 

We cover: how to recognize perfectionism in your child, the importance of you having your own sense of self, and practical tips on how to parent your unique perfectionist.  

We had so much to share, that we needed to split the episode into two parts! So, be sure to come back for Part Two and its expansion on the most essential tip: starting with yourself.

You don’t have to feel overwhelmed and confused. Start with these tips to help empower and parent your perfectionistic child!
