OUR STORY
Mistake
Mistake was created by a mother, Mayra Azanza, who wanted to teach her daughter that mistakes are okay and can be great learning opportunities. I met Mayra shortly after and was touched by the message. As an educator, I saw a world of content that could spread the message of the adorable Mistake doll.
I enthusiastically shared my ideas with Mayra, who invited me to join her on this adventure. A cute doll became a learning experience, teaching children early on that it's okay to fail as part of our journey to success. After three wonderful years working together, Mayra moved on to new opportunities. I have continued to celebrate mistakes as part of growth.
My E-motions
With over 20 years of experience working with children, I, Neta, have witnessed firsthand the power of emotional intelligence in navigating life's challenges.
My background as a pediatric acupuncturist specializing in sensory processing and emotional regulation fueled my passion for creating tools that empower children to understand and manage their emotions.
This passion led to My E-motions, a platform that utilizes the Five Element Theory to provide children with relatable characters and engaging resources to explore their emotional landscape.
Mistake and Friends
We have been working in collaboration for a few years, and the natural next step was to join forces and bring My E-motions and Mistakes together.
Mistake's rich content world, filled with stories and adventures, is enhanced by the five E-motions characters who offer a framework for understanding emotions.
Working together, we witnessed the magic that unfolded. Mistake became a central figure in this new world with his message of acceptance. My E-motions characters provided a foundation for emotional literacy, and Mistake, with his relatable touch, reminded children that it's okay to be different and make mistakes.
