My Bad! - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

What if the biggest thing holding a child back... isn't the mistake? What if it's the excuse?

Meet Cole, a funny, energetic kid who always seems to have an explanation when something goes wrong. Someone else lost the homework. Someone else made the bad pass. Someone else started the problem. Or, at least that's what Cole believes, but after one unforgettable week at school, a few honest conversations, and some unexpected wisdom from Pop Pop, Cole begins to discover a life-changing truth:

Accountability isn't about blame... it's about growth.

As Cole learns to stop asking, "Whose fault is this?" and starts asking, "What part belongs to me?", he discovers that two simple words... "my bad." "My bad," has the power to change friendships, build trust, solve problems, and make him stronger than he ever imagined.

Perfect for classrooms, families, counselors, and social-emotional learning, My Bad helps children understand that everyone makes mistakes, but our choices afterward are what shape who we become.

• How to take responsibility without feeling ashamed
• Why excuses keep us from growing
• The difference between guilt and accountability
• How honest apologies build stronger friendships
• Self-reflection and emotional maturity
• Growth mindset and resilience
• Respectful problem-solving and conflict resolution
• Leadership through personal responsibility

With relatable school situations, memorable characters, humor, and meaningful conversations, My Bad gives children practical language they can use every day, including one powerful question that can change the way they think:

"What part belongs to me?"

Because the part that belongs to them... is the part they have the power to change.

A perfect read for ages 7–11, classrooms, school counselors, parents, character education, PBIS, and social-emotional learning programs.
