Fear of mistakes

Practice a helpful move for fear of mistakes.

Picture cards: Notice the mistake · Pick one change · Try again

Use a pretend example. Students may watch or pass. Read the picture cards aloud. Say, “Watch me try one move.” Then model the words or action below.

Count with the adult. If they skip a number, practice “Let’s try again.” Invite the student to point, show you, or say it with you.

Say, “Show or tell me your first move.” Point to the card that matches. If needed, model it together once more.
