Description

RJ’s way of doing thing is causing him lots of grief, especially in math class. Too many of his assignments are missing and incomplete. RJ blames Norma “the booger picker” and Rodney “the alphabet burper” for distracting him during class. But with a little guidance from his parents and his teacher, 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. I Just Want to Do It My Way! is the fifth book in the Best Me I Can Be! series by Julia Cook. Included in the book are tips for parents, teachers, and counselors on how to help children stay on task and ask for help.

Review
“Julia never fails to give is language and tips to help our kids experience success. I Just Want to Do It My Way! and the character of RJ allows our kids to truly connect and reflect. RJ’s situation gives important strategies and hope to kids, educators and parents, and teaches us that social struggles can be resolved if we make small changes. This book is another tool to help our kids learn that finishing their work feels great, and they can make any situation positive if they try!” –Sarah Stine, Educator, The Cloverleaf School of Atlanta
