RJ’s way of doing things isn’t working out for him, especially in math class.

His teacher is upset because so many of his assignments are missing or incomplete. RJ blames Norma “the booger picker” and Rodney “the alphabet burper” for distracting him during class.

With support from his mom and dad, RJ learns how to ask for help and stay on task.

By learning how to do things the right way the first time, RJ discovers he no longer has to do his work over and over and over again.

The book includes tips for parents and educators on how to effectively teach staying on task and asking for help to kids.
