What if every mistake could become the beginning of growth?
Meet Patch, the helpful puppy from Feelings Neighborhood, who discovers that mistakes don't define us-they help us learn, grow, and connect with others.
When Patch accidentally breaks his friend Shy's favorite flower pot, he feels embarrassed and unsure what to do. With the support of his friends, he begins a journey that teaches children how to:
• take one step at a time
• remember their strengths
• ask for help when they need it
• practice new skills every day
• celebrate their progress and keep growing
More than a comic book, this story introduces the PATCH Model, created by Marriage and Family Therapist Galina Tyukhtina, to help children and families build emotional awareness, resilience, responsibility, and confidence through everyday experiences.
The book also includes two unique reflection sections:
Remember... - gentle reminders that help children recognize the strengths they already have and the new skills they can grow.
Museum of Life - a reflective activity that encourages children to celebrate their daily victories, learn from mistakes, and preserve meaningful moments.
Perfect for:
- Families
- Therapists
- School counselors
- Teachers
- Social-emotional learning (SEL)
- Homeschooling
- Classroom discussions
Because every feeling belongs.
Every mistake can become part of your story.
And every child can grow-one step at a time.
