Make Mistakes

Accessible and fun guides to help young children boost their confidence, learning and well-being

Help children, aged 7 plus, understand why making mistakes helps you learn, and why taking risks and challenging yourself makes your brain stronger and more powerful. This book is packed with fun and varied ways for children to improve concentration, positivity, confidence and mental wellbeing in a way that works for them.

Grow your Mind is a series of books that explore how we develop a 'Growth Mindset' - when children believe they can get smarter, they understand that effort makes them stronger and then the extra time and effort they put in can lead to higher achievement, confidence and self-satisfaction. Written in consultation with Katharine Muncaster, a leading headteacher who has implemented a renowned growth mindset programme in her school, this is a must have for any school, or parent, with wellbeing on their agenda.

Part of a series of 8 titles: Ask for Help, Boost Your Brain, Build Resilience, Don't Panic, Face Your Fears, Make Mistakes, Think Positive, Work Smarter.
