When a couple of friends give RJ a compliment, he just isn't sure how to respond. When his teacher and parents tell him there are some things he needs to work on, his first reaction is to argue and make excuses. RJ learns what it means to receive positive and negative feedback, and how to respond appropriately, learning to accept and grow from criticism and compliments at home, school and with friends.--Publisher.
