Perfectionism is not about doing our best. Itβs 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 usβand if we canβt, weβll never be good enough. That belief is a burden that can negatively affect all areas of a personβs 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 childrenβs 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 theyβre free to make mistakes, to learn, and to grow will benefit from this book. In addition, parents who struggle with their own perfectionismβand whose perfectionism takes a toll on the familyβwill find help for themselves within these pages.
