RJ has a rough day. He wakes up with gum stuck in his hair, misses recess because he’s late to school, earns a zero on his math homework and messes up Mom’s kitchen. With his mother’s help, RJ learns that his problems happen because he doesn’t listen or pay attention to directions.
RJ helps teach children great people skills that can make home life happier and school more successful. This book shows RJ as well as all K-6 readers the steps to the fundamental people skills of listening and following instructions. When RJ learns to use these skills the right way, he has the best day of his life!
The skills are part of the Boys Town Education Model that has improved student behavior and classroom climates in hundreds of schools across the country. The book includes tips for parents and educators on how to effectively teach listening and following instructions skills to kids.
This book is part of the Best Me I Can Be! series from Boys Town Press.
