Scenario

When parent and child share unhealthy patterns around learning and mastery

My teenage daughter is incredibly smart but she's developed this perfectionist approach to learning where if she can't master something immediately, she just quits. I see so much of my own fear of looking stupid in her behavior, and I want to help her develop a healthier relationship with not-knowing, but I'm realizing I need to examine my own patterns first and I don't know how to do that work together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
