It was interesting to see how much of my son was in this course. I know some of the learned behaviors, (not all good) he got from me and he told me so. I had to change some of these things so that he would feel more confident. He looks to me more than he does his dad so it was important to me that I he saw me changing in a positive way so that he could as well.

Objectives were clear, content was clear, I did however, lose both of my written responses and had to retype them. Perhaps type in a google doc and paste into the response box. I very much recommend this course – especially if you are not familiar with the feelings and behaviors of a perfectionist!

I feel too much time was spent rehashing what perfectionism is and what it looks like. Not enough time going into ways to help students with it. I also wish more strategies were given on how to implement the mindset changes in the classroom.
