Children Who Restart Drawings Repeatedly May Signal Perfectionism
Original: Psychology says children who keep restarting a drawing until it looks ‘right’ may be showing more than pe
Psychologists suggest that children who repeatedly tear up or restart a drawing until it looks 'right' may be displaying early signs of perfectionism rather than simple persistence. Commentators note this behaviour can reflect high personal standards, and sometimes anxiety about making mistakes, and advise parents to respond with encouragement focused on effort and process rather than the finished result.
Why now: Parenting advice about spotting perfectionist traits in children is resonating with parents worried about child anxiety and self-criticism.
