Parenting the Perfectionist

with Emily Mofield, EdD,

About Dr. Mofield’s program:

Does your child get upset if he gets less than an A? Does she get consumed with self-doubt after turning in homework? Is your child overly self-critical and insecure, even though she has a long-list of accomplishments and accolades?  Learn insights about perfectionism as it relates to gifted children  and their unique characteristics. During this session, parents will learn about several ideas to help gifted children tackle fear, shame, and identity associated with the striving for perfection.

EMILY MOFIELD, EdD, is an assistant professor in the College of Education at Lipscomb University. Her background includes 15 years experience teaching gifted students and leading gifted services. Emily currently serves as the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) Chair for Curriculum Studies.
