Two individuals stand in front of a large whiteboard covered with red marker diagrams and sketches. The person on the left, wearing glasses and a dark plaid shirt, holds a notebook and pen while attentively listening. The person on the right, dressed in a black blazer and with curly blonde hair, gestures as they explain the diagrams. The whiteboard displays flowcharts, wireframes, and interconnected boxes, indicating a discussion about project planning or system design. The environment suggests a collaborative brainstorming or strategy session.

Join me as I bust a myth about perfectionism and the Highly Sensitive trait.

 

When parents share that their Highly Sensitive Child is a 'perfectionist' they can often attribute this to the personality trait.

 

When this happens, it's hard to discern how to help your child grow without dulling their sensitive strengths.

 

Learn about the difference between perfectionism, depth of processing, and analysis paralysis with me today.

 

When your child is stuck in "I can't" or "I don't know how" you can feel quite frustrated as a parent...

 

...wanting to push, or pull them beyond their comfort zone.

 

Unfortunately, that will usually backfire.

 

Let's discuss how to guide your child towards being comfortable with discomfort, so they can grow beyond their current skill set.

 

If you're ready to truly address this problem from the root, it's time to book a call.
