I’ve experienced this with my daughter as well. This sudden, almost aggressive need for perfection when she’s doing something like arranging toys. You almost want to scream, “Noooo!! This need could ruin so much cool stuff you could make!”

Great explanation of why perfection is unattainable and not real. Your son will go far with advice like this.
