Get the free companion kit to Murphy's Law for Kids and teach a child exactly what to do when things go wrong. Real tools, zero lectures, ready for bedtime or the classroom.
You are exactly who this kit is for.
One for you, one for the kids. Both printable, both yours the moment you sign up.
22 full-color pages: the whole toolkit on one page, a bedtime read-aloud playbook, a low-prep classroom version, discussion prompts, and the source behind every chapter.
The reprintable coloring kit: all nine power shields to color in as they're earned, the Setback Collection, and the Full Belt certificate for the fridge or classroom wall.
All nine bounce-back tools (plus the belt that holds them), when to reach for each one, and a calm line you can actually say in the moment.
Three simple habits that make bedtime reading count, plus a checklist you can keep nearby.
Run any chapter as a 15-minute SEL mini-lesson. Read, name the tool, turn-and-talk, set the challenge.
Open-ended questions grouped by theme: mistakes, big feelings, fear of trying, friendship, and more.
The reprintable Bounce-Back Power Pack: a shield for every power your child earns, right through to the Full Belt certificate for the fridge or classroom wall.
Why modeling your own oops moments beats any lesson, and how to do it out loud.
One concrete tool per chapter. Your child collects them like a superhero gathering gadgets.
For the very first moment after something goes wrong.
For when big feelings take over.
For the second right after a mistake. A mistake is a clue, not a verdict.
For tasks that feel too scary to start.
For when a plan falls apart. Bend instead of break.
Turn "I can't" into "I can't yet".
For rescuing a bad day before it swallows the whole day.
For friendship fumbles and feeling left out.
For turning a setback into something useful.
Every tool rests on well-established growth-mindset and social-emotional learning ideas, from Carol Dweck's power of yet to name-it-to-tame-it. The guide lists the sources behind every chapter, and you can read the full list here.
One signup, both PDFs: the Parent & Teacher Guide and the Bounce-Back Power Pack arrive in the same email, minutes from now.
