Students today may be tempted to aim for perfection — to be fearful of making mistakes and to try to get everything right the first time. But that might not be what’s best for their mental health.
So says Lauren Ahlers, the district’s wellness coordinator. Ahlers will discuss the matter further during her upcoming presentation, “Raising Resilient Achievers: Striving for Success Without the Cost of Perfectionism,” which takes place from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 25, at the East Grand Rapids High School Performing Arts Center, 2211 Lake Drive SE.
