Errores Sin Dolores

A fun and funny way in Spanish for kids to learn about mistakes and how to recover from them.

Everyone makes them, especially kids, but they become a problem when they give children a painful ache in their heads, tummy, and even hearts. Errores sin dolores introduces the many mistakes kids can make, such as not taking the dog to the bathroom and missing the most crucial shot at a sports game.

Making a mistake can leave anyone feeling sick in the stomach or thinking that the world is going to end. Learning how to cope with mistakes and how to stop that "ache" can be one of the hardest parts of growing up. This entry in Free Spirit's acclaimed Laugh and Learn(R) series takes a closer look at the mistakes kids make (honest and intentional) and offers practical advice on how to bounce back.

With a healthy dose of humor, readers learn that embarrassing moments aren't forever, and a sincere apology can go a long way. The back of the book even includes a segment for teachers and parents on not getting angry at kids and helping them through mistakes.
