lol!

I can tell you that figuring this out now and addressing this issue now is such a gift to your dd. This forum and other research I have done over the past year to help my dds has really made me reflect on my own past choices, and perfectionism/fear of failure played a significant role--choosing classes in high school, college, career choices, etc. And sadly, for me, and now I see it in my dd, the perfectionism is in the areas where we have perhaps the most natural talent and passion and somehow then an even higher expectation of A+ performance therefore greater fear of failure and so it goes. I will be very interested to follow your progress in guiding your dd through this!
