Explorers investigate places they have never been before. These explorers might take a while to make their discoveries. They might have trouble understanding their maps. They might make wrong turns. They might need to start their expedition all over again! If explorers could not accept their mistakes and keep going, they might never make any discoveries! Does this sound like you? If you have trouble accepting mistakes, if you try to be right all the time, or if you worry about being less than the best, this book is for you! It’s natural to be afraid of making mistakes. You may be afraid of saying the wrong thing during a meeting or getting lost when traveling in a new city, for example. Kids can think this way, too. In fact, some kids are so afraid of making mistakes that they may hold back from challenges and blame others for their errors. A kid may forgo an activity for fear of not excelling. Or, a student may fail to complete assignments on time due to erasing too much, rewriting, or overdoing the task in some way. Kids who worry about being wrong or making mistakes may try to control situations to ensure their success, blame others for their failings, see themselves in a negative light, 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―for you and for your child. 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! Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind: Emphasize effort more than outcome. Let your child make mistakes―don’t do your child’s work for him. Model self-acceptance and lose gracefully. Comment on why you’re okay when you make a mistake. Demonstrate a sense of humor. Balance work with play. Let your child’s achievement be his own―don’t measure yourself by your child’s accomplishments (or mistakes).

Review: Gran libro para poder aprender a educar y gestionar las emociones de los niñ@s - Gran libro para poder aprender a educar y gestionar las emociones de los niñ@s, y para adultos, ayuda a entendernos mucho mejor. Sin duda una gran compra. 100% recomendable. Review: Very helpful - My 12 year old son is working his way through this book and he finds it really is helping him to see his fears in a different light. It is great to have a resource that is written for kids to read for themselves in language that makes sense to them, as I know as a parent I sometimes don't have the right words or know what to say for the best. It does feel just a tiny bit too young for my 12 year old lad, but I couldn't find anything like it in a similar style for older kids. ## Features - Eurospan ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #109,523 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #210 in Children's Nonfiction on Disability #794 in Children's Books on Difficult Discussions #1,360 in Children's Books on Self-Esteem & Self-Respect | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 53 Reviews | ## Images ![What to Do When Mistakes Make You Quake: A Kid's Guide to Accepting Imperfection - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91pvuMgaFKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gran libro para poder aprender a educar y gestionar las emociones de los niñ@s *by U***O on 19 October 2018* Gran libro para poder aprender a educar y gestionar las emociones de los niñ@s, y para adultos, ayuda a entendernos mucho mejor.

In der Therapie zusammen mit dem Kind durcharbeiten und ggf. übersetzen. Gut für Kinder erklärt. ## Frequently Bought Together - What to Do When Mistakes Make You Quake: A Kid’s Guide to Accepting Imperfection (What-to-Do Guides for Kids Series) - What to Do When You Worry Too Much: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety (What-to-Do Guides for Kids Series) - What to Do When You Grumble Too Much: A Kid's Guide to Overcoming Negativity (What-to-Do Guides for Kids) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/253307954-what-to-do-when-mistakes-make-you-quake-a-kids](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/253307954-what-to-do-when-mistakes-make-you-quake-a-kids) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
