"The worst mistake anyone can make is being too afraid to make one."
Making mistakes is part of growing up. However, for some students they feel that if they make a mistake with school work, it means they aren't smart, are a disappointment to the family, or are a "failure". I read the book, The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes with 8-B. The girls figured out pretty quickly that Beatrice, who was known for never making ANY mistakes in her life, would make one by the end of the story! Ella had an insightful comment that sometimes when you make a mistake you can actually feel happy because your world doesn't fall apart and you might learn something new from your mistake. Making a mistake can come as a relief from self-imposed pressure to be perfect!

We talked about mistakes being part of the growth process and that adult authors still edit and improve their writing process throughout their lives. Since we are always learning, there is always a way to do it better next time.
