When my daughter is stressed about a silly thing from school, she starts crying and freaking out. She is a bright student, always has a 4.0, but I am afraid she is stressing too much. Im afraid its going to break her. I don't know if I should get her to a doctor or someone because this is not normal.
I think my daughter is stressing too much
Chances are your daughter may be feeling a lot of pressure to succeed - even be perfect in these areas of her life. Behind perfectionism is a feeling of shame related to feeling like you wont measure up or that youre not good enough.Try using affirmations to separate your daughters worth from her achievements. Understanding where the pressure comes from might bring insight into why she stresses. A counselor could certainly help her learn ways of dealing with stress as well as underlying issues that drive her towards perfection.Good luck!
