Violin actually made dd6 a little worse, but at least I could address it. It's been a great learning experience for both of us.
I kind of expect things get worse eventually. He will probably be fine at the very beginning. I hope at the end it will help with his perfectionism and he will realize that if things don't come easily to him he may still be capable of doing them once he puts enough effort in.
That said I would appreciate any suggestions regarding perfectionism which worked for you. I found the book " Freeing Our Families from Perfectionism" really helpful. It has been a while since I read. It's probably a time to reread it again.
