0:00.0	Welcome to AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get supporting guidance through the chaos of parenting.
0:07.0	Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.
0:10.0	Well, hello there, and welcome to another episode of the AT parenting survival
0:15.6	podcast. I have gotten a lot of requests to do a podcast on perfectionism.
0:23.0	And honestly, I can't believe I've never done one on it before.
0:27.0	Maybe I have, but I looked back and I don't think I have.
0:30.0	This is episode 89, so there are 89 episodes. So that's quite a lot but even if I did one a long time ago
0:37.8	It is time to do another one because it's a really common issue a lot of us have perfectionistic kids and a lot of times
0:47.1	it's difficult to help them they a lot of times don't want help, aren't open to help, and become really difficult when we try to get

1:31.2	a teenager it's not too late. Even if you're an adult, it's not too late.
1:35.3	There's always the ability to change. It's just that when they're little and they're really shaping their world
1:41.8	That is the easiest time to do it. So I'm going to talk to you
1:45.0	about how to talk to your kids about perfectionism and things you can do to make it
1:51.0	better. Now the first thing you want to do, like everything else I talk about
1:56.5	is educate your child on what perfectionism is because we can't really fix something unless our kids understand what the problem is and
2:06.1	what we're trying to work on. And we have their buy-in to want to work on it themselves. So a lot of times kids will come into my practice and
