Gifted and Talented - Perfectionism
Channel: Take On Talents
Date: 2012-10-26

Perfectionism is an often found symptom in many gifted and talented children. Perfectionism is the fear of failure and can be categorized into two types. The healthy kind that keeps us awake and sharp, while the unhealthy kind that completely paralyses the child into thinking that it's better to do nothing than to do something wrong. It's not about being perfect but seeing progress and doing the best with what I've got. It's good to force failure on children and then talk to them about it, try it at different levels and observe progress.
