RJ says what he thinks… no matter how it sounds or makes others feel.

His mouth is getting him into a lot of trouble. A rude comment at school earned him a detention. An insensitive remark at home earned him a scolding and made his sister cry.

RJ doesn’t realize his words are wrong. He thinks he’s just offering feedback. It’s time RJ starts using a social filter when he speaks.

With help from his parents, he learns he doesn’t have to verbalize every thought that pops into his head. In fact, sometimes the less said the better!

Part of the Best Me I Can Be! series from Boys Town Press which helps teach great people skills to children.
