Beyond High Standards: Helping Kids Manage Perfectionism

Many kids and teens struggle with perfectionism—they feel intense pressure to excel, avoid tasks when success isn’t guaranteed, or melt down when things aren’t “just right.” Society makes us and our kids feel they have to do more and more to succeed, and social media amplifies the comparison and achievement culture. Families are seeing more anxiety, procrastination, and self-criticism tied to these high standards. Yet it can be hard to know when your child’s motivation is healthy striving and when it’s tipping into patterns that hurt their wellbeing. It can also be hard to recognize when parents are unintentionally contributing to the sky-high expectations and stress.

In this webinar, Dr. Gabby Marton of Small Brooklyn Psychology will break down how to identify perfectionism in kids and teens and what makes it different from typical motivation. She’ll share evidence-based strategies used by clinicians—including exposure, flexible thinking, and challenging automatic negative thoughts—along with practical guidance for shifting language and habits at home to help break perfectionistic cycles. Dr. Gabby will offer clear principles, real-life examples, and take-home tools so parents can support kids’ resilience, confidence, and healthier expectations. A Q&A session moderated by Dr. Mandi White-Ajmani will follow.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10
12:00 – 1:00 PM

Our November book of the month comes from neuropsychologist Dr. Danielle diFilipo. She recommends: Raising a Kid Who Can: Simple Strategies to Build a Lifetime of Adaptability and Emotional Strength by Catherine McCarthy, Heather Tedesco, & Jennifer Weaver.

Dr. Danielle says: "I love this book because it offers a grounded, compassionate look at how we help kids grow into capable, resilient humans. The authors translate developmental research into concrete ideas and strategies that actually work in daily life--simple shifts in how we talk, problem-solve, and respond when things get messy. It also lines up beautifully with what I try to support in my work with families. It’s not about fixing kids or managing behavior; it’s about teaching flexibility, self-understanding, and the confidence to handle hard moments."

WEDNESDAY! Register to receive the recording if you can't make it live.

With new phone bans in schools, bestselling books like The Anxious Generation, and growing concerns from mental health experts, the effects of screens and social media on developing kid & teen brains are under more scrutiny than ever. Experts like Jonathan Haidt (The Anxious Generation), Jean Twenge (iGen, 10 Rules for Raising Kids in a High-Tech World), and Children and Screens Institute have recommended reduced exposure, but parents are left trying to reset habits at home—often facing strong pushback and big emotions from kids.
In this webinar, Dr. Rebecca Abbott-Sinclair of Small Brooklyn Psychology will share clear, practical strategies for navigating these challenges. You’ll learn how to manage kids’ emotional reactions, ease your own worries, and set healthy boundaries around screen time. Dr. Abbott-Sinclair will offer guiding principles and real-life examples to help you feel more confident and calm in tackling screen-time struggles. She’ll also participate in a Q&A session with participants, moderated by Dr. Mandi White-Ajmani.

Our October Book of the Month is Free-Range Kids by Lenore Skenazy!

Recommended by Dr. Rebecca Abbott-Sinclair, PhD, a specialist in child and parental anxiety, Free Range Kids by Lenore Skenazy is a smart, empowering antidote to today’s culture of parental fear.

Dr. Rebecca says:
"After being labeled “America’s Worst Mom” for letting her 9-year-old ride the NYC subway alone, Skenazy sparked a movement that has influenced leaders like Jonathan Haidt (The Anxious Generation), Camilo Ortiz (Independence-Focused Therapy), and Jean Twenge (iGen).

With humor and practical advice, this book helps parents take small, meaningful steps toward raising confident, independent kids—while learning to manage their own anxieties along the way. It's a must-read for families seeking freedom from fear. Beyond practical strategies, it offers a reassuring perspective grounded in psychology: when parents step back, children gain resilience, competence, and courage, while parents themselves often feel more calm, capable, and connected. The result is a healthier family dynamic where independence and trust replace worry and control."

Here we are, September again! For this month's Book of the Month, Dr. Megan Moxey recommends My Body Sends a Signal, written by Natalia Maguire and illustrated by Anastasia Zababashkina.

Dr. Megan says:
My Body Sends a Signal is a beautifully illustrated book that helps children ages 3–7 connect the signals their bodies give (such as a racing heart, tight tummy, or fidgety hands) to the emotions they’re experiencing. Through short stories, calming strategies, and hands-on activities such as emotion cards and coloring pages, kids learn to recognize, name, and manage their feelings in healthy ways. It’s a wonderful tool for parents to spark conversations about emotions and support their child’s self-regulation and empathy at home. While reading this book together, parents can pause to ask their children if they’ve ever felt their body send the same signal as the character in the story. This helps them make personal connections and practice putting words to their feelings.

Here are some tips that parents can use to help their children better understand and express their emotions:

Tip #1: Create a “feelings check-in” time each day (like before bed or after school). Ask, “What signal did your body send you today?” and help your child connect it to a feeling word.

Tip #2: When your child shows a strong emotion, gently remind them: “What is your body telling you right now?” This builds awareness in the moment and gives them a chance to practice calming strategies from the book.

Tip #3: Use the emotion cards or coloring pages from the book as a fun family activity. Take turns picking a feeling and acting it out, this helps kids recognize emotions in themselves and others.

Tip #4: Model it yourself! Share your own body signals out loud, like, “My shoulders feel tight, so I think I’m a little stressed. I’m going to take some deep breaths.” Kids learn best by seeing you do it too.

For our August Book of the Month, therapist Maddy Clark, LCSW recommends The Way of Play by Tina Payne Bryson and Georgie Wisen-Vincent.

Maddy says: "Play is the way that children communicate, but it can be really challenging for parents to engage in play. So many times in coaching sessions, I have to remind parents to sit down on the floor, pick up a toy, etc. And that's really normal! We're not used to playing, and most of us haven't had to do it in a long while! But Dr. Tina Payne Bryson's book, The Way of Play, helps break down some tangible strategies for how to engage children in their language of play while also providing research-based rationale for the skills. She does a good job explaining the power of play, parenting, and positivity. A strong and intentional parent-child relationship is the crucial foundation for so much of the hard work that we do as therapists with our amazing families, and this book helps guide the way for that. Plus, the illustrations are super cute!"

Our Mission: What We Do

Small Brooklyn Psychology is a team of psychologists who strive to help people learn deep, dynamic, and actionable information about themselves and then use that information to make the changes and achieve the growth they want to see in their lives. We work with people of all ages, all cultures, all identities, and all histories, who might be struggling with all kinds of problems. We know that there’s no need to go to Manhattan for good treatment when high-quality services are here for you, in Brooklyn.

We are scientifically minded: We know the best research-backed practices for psychological and neuropsychological treatment, and we are well-trained to use them. We are also individually focused: We know how and when the best research-backed practices might or might not work for you and your family right now, in this moment. Our depth of experience means we can adapt mindfully and nimbly, providing the best services for you, as you need them.

We offer neuropsychological assessment for people from 12 months through older adulthood. We take a very comprehensive and thorough approach, where we collect as much data from as many different sources as we can, to form a full 360° picture of who someone is, with all their interconnected pieces. We understand that everyone has unique strengths, weaknesses, and idiosyncrasies that interact in a dynamic system to make them who they are today. We will communicate that information to you in a very clear and accessible way. If diagnoses are needed, we will make them, but we’re also focused on how you can use this information in real-world ways to bring about change. Click here to learn more about our neuropsychological assessment services.

When you’re ready to make steps toward change, we also offer several different kinds of therapy, for children, adolescents, and adults, in individual, group, parenting, and family sessions. Our therapists are well-trained in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients learn about the thoughts and feelings that underlie their behaviors. CBT and its variants are very effective for treating many kinds of problems. Click here to learn more about our therapy services.
