When Your Kid Says “I’m Not Good Enough”—And How to Respond

What do you say when a child insists, “I have to be perfect”? Or when a teenager pushes you away in anger—or refuses to speak at all?

In this moving video, Dr. David Burns shares two powerful true stories:
• A simple dinner-table game that helped his daughter challenge her perfectionism.
• An unexpected encounter with a violent teen in juvenile detention—where empathy opened the door to connection and hope.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or therapist, you’ll discover practical tools—and new hope—for connecting with kids and teens who feel “not good enough,” angry, or alone.
