Fear of failure or perfectionism, that is the question. We hear from families, either parents or children themselves, that a quest to avoid failure leads to increased stress, unrealistic expectations, and feelings of despair. This week’s topic explores this theme intentionally, looking at how our ‘fear of failure’ mindset impacts our parenting, sometimes even projecting this mindset onto our children. Jacqueline and Robin recognize that some individuals are naturally prone to the idea of ‘perfectionism’, but also note that this idea may stem from a ‘fear of failure’ mindset.
Join Jacqueline and Robin as they shed some insight into this topic, including the pressure both parents and children may put on themselves, leading to less desirable outcomes and lower feelings of self-worth. It is never perfect, but always progressing!
