Parenting: Teenagers, anxiety & perfectionism
Update: 2025-09-25
Description
Clinical psychologist Polly Schaverien talks with Kathryn about helping teenagers with anxiety and unhealthy perfectionism.
She says adolescence is a time of exponential growth and development, and the "job" of the teen is to establish their identity, develop socially and learn emotional regulation.
She says parents play a big role - and the first thing they need to do is check their own perfectionism.
