Braden is super excited to go to the Fun Zone with his brother and parents. He knows what he wants, to drive the go-carts for the first time ever! When he arrives, he learns he doesn't meet the height requirement. He tries to get his mom to intervene, but she refuses becasue "a rule is a rule." And when the guy behind the track tells him it's not that big of a deal because he can ride with a parent, Braden loses his temper and shouts "It IS a big deal! I hate this place!" Braden's mom helps him realize that throwing a temper tantrum doesn't help anyone. She teachers him the steps for calming down so he can think of a way to make the situation better. Can Braden do as his mom suggests? Find out in this third book in the Executive Function series.
