Ohhhhh, I have one like that. Actually, my "easier," less intense child (the more intense one is extremely decisive...good luck changing her mind...and that, too, has its challenges) is that way...and it is a maddening trait. DS6's perfectionism seems to also include the need to make a perfect decision...I can sympathize with it, but at times it makes our lives (sigh) insane.
I have gotten to the point where I try to talk him through why he feels as though each might be a good decision, and then I almost point him to a decision (but I try to make it his idea)...because he seems to almost need that. It has helped. A bit.
Isn't living with gifted kiddos interesting?
