In this story, Buddy has difficulty at school and at home until he begins to learn from his mistakes. He is embarrassed to admit his mistakes or admit that he doesn't understand, and feels that there is something wrong with him when he fails or makes an error. As a result, he tells himself that he can't succeed. This attitude changes when the school counselor shows Buddy how mistakes can help him improve his knowledge and skills. He learns to keep trying and ask for help if he needs it. The story is accompanied by questions to stimulate discussion of important issues. This pack contains reproducible activities, a story book, posters, and a user's guide.
