There are implications on their mental well-being that are likely to impact their other aspects of life. The following are a few common characteristics of individuals who often grow up with perfectionist parents.<\/p><h3 style=\"font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-weight );\" data-elementor-setting-key=\"title\" data-gramm=\"false\" data-quillbot-element=\"1nxpiJ9TU7xuhm7UVyE4K\" data-pen-placeholder=\"\u00c9crivez ici...\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-15\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">Fear of rejection is created by perfectionism: Oftentimes, a child&rsquo;s motivation to accomplish is fueled by a fear of rejection, despite the efforts of perfectionist parents to raise children who are ambitious and have lofty goals. They crave continual approval and experience feelings of worthlessness when they do not obtain it.<\/li><\/ul><h3 style=\"font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-weight );\" data-elementor-setting-key=\"title\" data-gramm=\"false\" data-quillbot-element=\"1nxpiJ9TU7xuhm7UVyE4K\" data-pen-placeholder=\"\u00c9crivez ici...\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-16\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">Perfectionism produces children who are unhappy with themselves. When the bar is set excessively high, first by parents and later by children themselves, it becomes almost hard to attain attainable objectives. This causes children to feel worthless and discontent with themselves.<\/li><\/ul><h3 style=\"font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-weight );\" data-elementor-setting-key=\"title\" data-gramm=\"false\" data-quillbot-element=\"1nxpiJ9TU7xuhm7UVyE4K\" data-pen-placeholder=\"\u00c9crivez ici...\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-17\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">Individuals with perfectionist parents are more likely than others to acquire an addiction. They may believe that doing drugs is the only way they can operate as their parents expect. A high may boost their confidence to the point where they can meet their parents&rsquo; expectations. They may possibly be abusing drugs as a means of coping with the fact that their parents make them feel worthless if they cannot achieve their expectations.<\/li><\/ul><h3 style=\"font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-weight );\" data-elementor-setting-key=\"title\" data-gramm=\"false\" data-quillbot-element=\"1nxpiJ9TU7xuhm7UVyE4K\" data-pen-placeholder=\"\u00c9crivez ici...\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-18\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">Since the child was raised in accordance with your ideal standards, they will seek to please everyone they encounter. For instance, they do not want to decline a job for fear that it would imply they are incapable of doing it. They may not want to seem weak to others, so they attempt to take on more than they can manage. By conforming to others&rsquo; expectations, they are likely to lose their sense of self.<\/li><\/ul><h3 style=\"font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-weight );\" data-elementor-setting-key=\"title\" data-gramm=\"false\" data-quillbot-element=\"1nxpiJ9TU7xuhm7UVyE4K\" data-pen-placeholder=\"\u00c9crivez ici...\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-19\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>Some children with perfectionist parents could also attempt to exert control over themselves and others via perfectionism in order to feel more comfortable.<\/p><h3 style=\"font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-weight );\" data-elementor-setting-key=\"title\" data-gramm=\"false\" data-quillbot-element=\"1nxpiJ9TU7xuhm7UVyE4K\" data-pen-placeholder=\"\u00c9crivez ici...\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-20\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>For example, in order to get a feeling of control and consistency that s\/he is not receiving from her parents, an adolescent could revise an essay for hours or measure her breakfast cereal before consuming it. Children acquire perfectionism as a means of compensating for emotions of guilt and a profound sense of inadequacy.<\/p><h2 style=\"font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-primary-font-weight );\" data-elementor-setting-key=\"title\" data-gramm=\"false\" data-quillbot-element=\"1nxpiJ9TU7xuhm7UVyE4K\" data-pen-placeholder=\"\u00c9crivez ici...\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SuzyApp\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/suzyapp.com\/en\/\"><strong>SuzyApp<\/strong><\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>SuzyApp gives your child the freedom to make their own choices by providing them the opportunity to make their screen time healthier.
