Learning is Not About Perfection

Of course you want your children to do their best. But that’s different than demanding that they be the best. Trying for excellence is healthy and motivating. Insisting on perfection is unrealistic and stressful.

If either you or your child is a perfectionist, it’s not too late to relax a little. Try something new together and try to have a realistic attitude about mistakes.

Mistakes don't mean we are a failure. They mean we’re human. They can also mean that we are trying to learn something.
