No one likes making mistakes，especially when you feel angry about what you've done.However，that awful feeling is your brain learning to help you succeed in the future.You can't learn how to ride a bike without falling off，or make friends without sometimes saying things you regret.
Accepting and learning from your mistakes gives you the courage to try harder next time.Experts call this a "growth mindset".It means you see failure as something positive you can learn from，instead of regret.Elsie，age 13，said that it's hard to accept mistakes but they make her a better learner."I once made a cake that came out like two big biscuits.I was disappointed but realized I hadn't read the recipe properly.Now I always read the recipe twice."
Be open to mistakes because learning from them can help you believe in yourself and face challenges."Try talking to a friend or a trusted family member about your mistake of the day.Whether the experience is happy or painful，sharing these stories with others will show you how they happen all the time，"says Alexandra Eidens from The Big Life Diary for Kids.
