What to Do When Mistakes Make You Quake helps kids take the fear out of failing and making mistakes to just keep on going! Kids who worry about being wrong try to control situations to ensure their success, blame others for their failings, or be critical in general. They may have trouble making decisions for fear of making the wrong one. It’s exhausting trying to avoid mistakes. This interactive self-help book is the complete resource for educating, motivating, and empowering children to cope with mistakes—so they can explore new territory without fear!
