The Redo Roo

by Cindy R Lee

Sweet little Roo is full of energy and excitement which is more than fine when he is playing outside. But, when Roo is asked to sit still, be quiet and keep his hands to himself at school he runs into some not-so-fun trouble. Discover how Roo’s teachers find creative solutions to helping Roo succeed in an environment that was not built for his energetic level of exploration. Reading The Redo Roo will help you and your child replace, time-outs, lectures and consequences with the “redo” parenting technique and help empower you to succeed. This story is one of eight children’s books written by Cindy R. Lee and is designed to teach concepts developed by Dr. Karyn Purvis and Dr. David Cross at the Institute of Child Development. Proceeds are being donated to HALO Project and the Institute of Child Development.

This is a fantastic book that I found this year to read with my first graders. It talks about how Roo has trouble with impulsivity and sometimes makes some not great choices I like it because my students can connect with this character and it helps with reminding students to stop and it is okay to re-do something so it is done correctly the second time. I use it as a classroom management reminder with my class and other classes on the playground.

Read this to my little guy that I adopted who is having problems adjusting in school because he is so hyper.

I’m excited to be able to share this book with the foster parents and foster kids I work with in my role as a CASA volunteer.
