    My daughter has done copywork for 2 years. Now, all of the sudden, she is getting very stressed out about making it perfect and erasing things over and over again and getting very frustrated. I am not quite sure how to get her to know the difference between “doing her best work” and “perfection”. Is this a phase that will pass or what? I don’t want a habit to form of erasing and erasing, so I’m not sure what to do if it is indeed a phase….

    My eight year old daughter is the same way! It really started this year. I try to tell her the work is fine…actually really, really good…but she is so frustrated. She finished Print to Cursive and now I’m using StartWrite and picking out selections for her to copy. I’m a perfectionist as well, so I know where she gets it! I’m curious about other replies…
