Can't I Just Hit Reset?: A Book About Making Mistakes and Being Okay Anyway
Kids make mistakes. They worry, they feel guilty, and sometimes they get stuck thinking they’ll never be “good enough.” But what if they could learn how to let go, move forward, and believe in themselves again?
Can’t I Just Hit Reset? is a self-forgiveness and emotional resilience book for kids ages 8–13. Designed as a gentle, practical guide, it helps children manage guilt, anxiety, and negative self-talk while building confidence, coping skills, and a stronger sense of self-worth.
With short chapters, relatable examples, and fun activities, this book gives kids the tools
Handle big emotions without being overwhelmed
Practice self-compassion after making mistakes
Recognize progress and growth instead of chasing perfection
Develop positive coping skills for everyday stress and challenges
Build emotional regulation and resilience that lasts
Each section includes easy activities and “lunchbox notes”—short, uplifting reminders kids can carry with them. A light video game theme keeps the lessons fun, showing kids how to “level up” in kindness, confidence, and courage.
Parents, teachers, and counselors will find this book especially useful
A social-emotional learning (SEL) resource in the classroom
A coping skills workbook for kids who struggle with guilt or self-doubt
A confidence-building tool for children dealing with anxiety or perfectionism
A conversation starter to help families talk about feelings and forgiveness
This isn’t a heavy lecture—it’s a friendly companion. Kids can read it on their own, work through it with a parent, or use it as part of a counseling or school setting. By the final pages, they’ll discover that mistakes are not the end of the story—they’re a chance to learn, grow, and try again.
