I Can't Believe You Said That!: My Story about Using My Social Filter…or Not!

Banish rude and insensitive comments at home and school by
teaching kids in grades K-6 how to use a social filter.

RJ is a youngster who always says what he thinks no matter
how it sounds or makes others feel. RJ doesn’t realize his words are sometimes
insensitive. He thinks he’s just speaking the truth and offering feedback.

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! Join RJ as he discovers the value of thinking before speaking
and realizes that with practice he can use a little self control to think
before he speaks. He can give positive feedback, or none at all. If RJ can use
his social filter, he won't offend or hurt the feelings of others with careless
comments.

This book is the seventh in Julia Cook’s BEST ME I Can Be!
series which teaches children social skills that can make home life happier and
school more successful. 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.

With RJ's help, K-6 readers will learn how to evaluate
social situations and choose appropriate words to say. I Can't Believe You Said
That! is an amusing tale with a message that teachers and parents will
appreciate. The book also includes tips for developing your child's social
filter.
