[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 382764, member: 1991"] What if you say, "I need you to show me why I am wrong."? Would that work? And if you ARE wrong, accept it cheerfully and congratulate him not only on being right, but on being able to demonstrate it. Your easy acceptance of making a mistake will set the example for him to eventually learn that it's OK to not be perfect. As a former perfectionist, I know how easy it is to get stuck in this very unhealthy loop, and give up rather than face the shame of having got it wrong. Marg [/QUOTE]
