Children who restart drawings until they look 'right' may signal perfectionism

Psychologists say children who repeatedly restart a drawing until it looks 'right' may be showing more than typical childhood fussiness. The behaviour can point to early perfectionist tendencies or perfectionism-driven anxiety, where fear of mistakes outweighs enjoyment of the activity. Parenting writers suggest adults respond by praising effort over outcome and reassuring children that errors are part of learning rather than failures to be erased.
Why now: Parents are drawn to advice distinguishing harmless carefulness from early perfectionism in children.
