Perfectionism Parent Discussion led by Ms. Richardson
Is your child prone to frustration when he/she can’t do something the first time?
Do they spend an enormous amount of time erasing and re-doing their work?
Do they worry incessantly about their grades?
Are they fearful to take risks and try new things that they perceive as “too hard”?
Perfectionism is a common characteristic of gifted children. Join Ms. Richardson for a parent discussion. Learn how to identify perfectionism, develop strategies to support your gifted learner at home, and meet other parents who share your experience!
Childcare will be provided by the Hampden Academy Key Club in the Children’s Room.
