It’s easy to feel like everything needs to be perfect. Our youth can pick up on that and they can become obsessed with being perfect -- in school, with their bodies, and even their hobbies. In this new episode of Voices of Compassion, we explore the complex world of perfectionism in children. What does perfectionism look like? From fear of failure and constant self-criticism to anxiety over making mistakes, many kids struggle with wanting to be "perfect." With CHC experts, Dr. Marjan Ebadi and Dr. Whitney Geller, we discuss the potential causes of perfectionism, societal expectations and personality traits. Parents and caregivers will learn how to support their children by fostering a healthy mindset, encouraging effort over perfection, and maintaining balanced expectations. Are high expectations helpful or harmful? Join us as we explore ways to nurture resilience without fueling the pressure to be perfect.

In this new podcast episode we explore the meaning of validation and why it’s one of the most effective communication strategies for parents and caregivers. Although the term validation is often used, many people aren’t entirely sure what it really means or how to use it in conversations with others, including youth. Validation helps youth feel heard, understood, and valued, creating a strong emotional connection and goes beyond simply agreeing or offering comfort; it’s about acknowledging and accepting a child’s feelings as real and important. With CHC expert psychologists, Dr. Erin Hoolihan and Dr. Tracy Cavaligos, we talk about how to break down the steps to effectively validate emotions and share practical examples of how to respond in common scenarios where validation is key. This is one you will want to listen to again and again!

In this episode, we talk with CHC experts, Dr. Emily Hsu, licensed psychologist and Julia Terman, doctoral intern at Stanford Children’s Hospital and CHC about accommodating anxiety and what it means for both parents and children. We'll explore what accommodation looks like—how parents might unknowingly reinforce their child's fears by altering routines or providing excessive reassurance. We discuss typical examples of accommodation, like allowing a child to avoid anxiety-inducing situations, and contrast these with more productive responses that encourage resilience. Hear about how you can be a supportive parent while still helping your child face their fears, fostering independence and confidence. Tune in to learn how to strike the balance between empathy and empowerment.
