Does your child refuse to start because "it won't be perfect anyway"?
"If it's not the best, then why bother." "Either I do it brilliantly or not at all." The bar shoots straight to maximum — and the action stops before it even begins. Easier not to try than to do it "imperfectly".
It's not a high standard — it's the "perfect or failure" trap
The child (often themselves) leaves only two options: either it comes out perfect, or it's a failure. As if there's no third. But between those extremes lies the whole process — the first uncertain attempts, the mistakes, the small steps that a result actually grows from.
This isn't laziness or indifference. The child is caught in a rigid frame where "imperfect" equals "bad". Without the skill to see the process, they choose not to do it at all — to avoid the feeling of not being "good enough".
The result — the child doesn't even give themselves a chance to try. They don't start drawing, writing, or performing, because they're afraid it won't be perfect — and so they never find out that they could.

My daughter used to tear up a drawing if it came out "not right". Now she says "this is only the first try" — and just keeps going. Getting started became easier than freezing in front of perfect.
