Perfectionism

===This is a concern that affects many of our MTES G&T kids. Perfectionism is usually counter-productive for those of us who can visualize what "perfect" is, and then end up viewing our own efforts only in terms of how they fall short of this ideal. As some of you parents have described to me, the result is acute distress.===

Alison Brown, VP of Advocacy for New Jersey Association for Gifted Children, offers some practical tips at her web page:

 * ====In January 2015, Alison Brown provided an informational seminar at MTES for parents and teachers, informing us about the social and emotional complexities of gifted children. WCCSE has invited her to return in January 2016; information on dates and topics will be posted soon!====
