Some Days I Make Mistakes : How to Stay Calm and Cool When Your Day Is Not So Great

Teaching children to be calm and cool with life's challenges can be easier when they learn coping skills to handle their emotions.

We all make mistakes; it’s just what we do
when we’re learning and growing at home or in school.
Mistakes can be big, or they can be small,
but no matter the size, we can learn from them all.

Join Kela as she explores the big feelings—and the wonderful possibilities—that can come from making mistakes. In this compassionate and charming story, children will learn effective, simple techniques for staying calm and cool and will discover new ways to learn and grow from their mistakes.
