Many of my students seem to struggle with traits of perfectionism and formulating independent ideas. I encourage them to write originally, yet they hesitate to express themselves.
Students were anxious about whether their free write on ambition and perfection would be collected, revealing their struggle to share their own stories without fear of judgment.
I believe modern parenting techniques are breeding perfectionism, as overbearing parents create a lack of intrinsic decision-making in their children, fueling the child-perfecting industry.
I've modeled imperfect behavior for my daughter, emphasizing the importance of showing her authentic, flawed experiences, thereby fostering her independence and sense of self.
