Perfectionism is often praised in teens, after all, we want them to get good grades, achieve their goals, and develop a strong work ethic. However, beneath the surface, the pressure to “get everything right” can quietly take a toll on their mental health.

In this short blog, we’re sharing three tips for supporting a child’s emotional health and three tips for supporting a teen’s emotional health. While this list is by no means exhaustive, it can serve as a helpful starting point for parents and caregivers navigating these important conversations.
