Stickley didn’t like making mistakes. “Oh no!” he’d say, and he wouldn’t try again. He wanted to be perfect.
Many children—and adults!—don’t like making mistakes. But mistakes are a natural and necessary part of growing up. What’s more, research shows that how we view mistakes determines whether we embrace challenges or avoid them altogether. Children who are willing to learn from mistakes take more risks in their learning—and are more likely to keep trying when they are challenged—than children who are hesitant to do anything wrong.
Stickley Makes a Mistake! shows kids how to hop up, try again, and say “oh well!” when they make a mistake—just like Stickley!
Includes a
Note to Parents, Caregivers, and Teachers with more information about the importance of having a healthy attitude towards mistakes, and advice for encouraging children to embrace their mistakes, learn from them, and keep trying.
