After an exhausting night of baseball, the last thing Braden wants to
hear is Mom and Dad harping about everything he must finish on his to-do
list.
Of course, they wouldn't be on his case if he actually paid attention
and did what he needed to do. From chores at home to questions on a
quiz, Braden never checks his work for mistakes or to see if he missed
anything.
Is there a solution to his sloppiness? Yes... but will Braden be willing
to try it? Can he become a master of self-monitoring?
Self-monitoring can be challenging to understand for children and skills
such as completing work accurately and completely, staying on task,
following instructions the first time, waiting to be called on, and
getting the teacher's attention appropriately can be challenging to
master.
Award-winning author, happy father, and popular school counselor Bryan
Smith highlights the importance of slowing down, being accurate, and
double-checking one's work in the seventh picture book of the Executive
Function series written for students in grades K through 5.
Tips for parents and educators are included at the end of the story to
help children develop their abilities to self-monitor.
