(Justin Dyer)","description":"Perfectionism in adolescence can be a heavy, even isolating, burden\u2014shaped by social media, identity pressures, and the overwhelming number of choices youth face. Amid these challenges the Doctrine and Covenants offers a powerful reminder: \u201cRemember that the worth of souls is great in the sight of God\u201d (18:10). This eternal truth stands out in contrast to the feeling standards of the world. In this episode Professor Justin Dyer explains how such expectations contribute to rising perfectionism among our youth. Drawing from BYU\u2019s Foundations data, he offers advice on how parents, teachers, and leaders can help youth navigate these pressures and find peace in eternal truths. By helping young people anchor their self-worth in truth, we can guide them away from toxic perfectionism and toward a life of purpose, peace, and resilience.   Publications: \u201cPerfectionism Across Adolescence,\u201d BYU Studies Quarterly, 63.4 (2024) \u201cThe Family Proclamation: The Secular and Spiritual Context,\u201d co-authored with Michael A.
