In this Dear Teenagers video, Dr. Lisa Damour unpacks the science of perfectionism: striving for excellence can be motivating, but it can also lead to beating ourselves up when our efforts fall short of our aspirations. She shares how to aim high, take pride in your work, and still feel good about yourself even when things don’t go exactly as planned. You can watch this video with your tween or teen, share it with them or use it to help guide conversation. Here is a link to share this video with your 10to20!
