RJ's unfiltered words land him in hot water at school and home, causing detention and tears. He believes he's just being honest, but his parents guide him to understand the importance of a social filter.

From the publisher
RJ’s 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! This book is the newest addition to the Best Me I Can Be! series offers help for children who say inappropriate things.
