Perfectionism is not about doing our best. It’s not about
the struggle for excellence or the healthy striving for high
goals. Perfectionism is about believing that if we can just
do something perfectly, other people will love and accept
us—and if we can’t, we’ll never be good enough. That belief
is a burden that can negatively affect all areas of a
person’s life. Fortunately, parents who recognize
perfectionistic patterns in themselves, in their kids, or in
their families as a whole can make positive changes that
will enrich their children’s lives and their own. In this
positive, practical book (retitled and updated edition),
psychologist Tom Greenspon explains perfectionism, where it
comes from, and what parents can do about it. He describes a
healing process for transforming perfectionism into healthy
living practices and self-acceptance. Parents who want to
help their kids move past perfectionism and live happier,
healthier lives in which they’re free to make mistakes, to
learn, and to grow will benefit from this book. In addition,
parents who struggle with their own perfectionism—and whose
perfectionism takes a toll on the family—will find help for
themselves within these pages.
