Jen,
There is a very simple childrens book called "ISH" that had an amazing effect on my then 5 yo perfectionist. I can't remember who the writer is but if you look it up on google it will come up. It's somewhere around 9-12 dollars and worth every penny!
The book is about not letting others dictate the standard by which your work is judged. We must have read it 40 times. I was completely at a loss as to how to make my son stop beating himself up, refusing and screaming tantrums when something wasn't perfect. This made a HUGE difference.
Just looked it up. Peter Reynolds is the Author and the book is $8.23 on Amazon,
