As a FTM, and nothing to really compare it to; my daughter seems to have perfectionist tendencies.
For the most part she doesn't cry/whine when she doesn't get her way...but when she can't do something right the very first time/try.
Some examples are: putting on her shoes, not figuring out the puzzle the first time, not having her circles completely joined when she draws them.
Today, she was coloring and was spelling her name and trying to write the letters of her name. (Of course they were just squiggles and lines) But she got so frustrated/mad at herself that her letters didn't look anything like the letters in her name.
Any ideas to help her?
