Get rid of "the Crabbies"...
Ever have "one of those days" when the kids don't seem to get along with each other (or even with you)? Today's featured website will tell you that these are the "crabbies"... They especially seem to show up around the holidays. CrabbieMasters is a fun site with information on the "Crabbies" and how to beat them...
Their purpose is to provide adults with practical, fun, and easy-to-use ideas that will help them manage, and teach young children to manage, the inevitable ups and downs of every day.
Let’s face it! Everyone gets The Crabbies™! But here are a bunch of proven resources and ‘tricks’ to “turn the day around”, and you can apply those dry ‘textbook principles’ of parenting in a way that makes it easier for everyone to learn and have fun together! Plus, don’t be surprised if you find that using teachings of the CrabbieMasters works pretty well for yourself and other adults!
Instead of getting upset with someone, especially a young child, because he or she is “CRABBY”, it turns out that it is incredibly valuable and effective to make a subtle shift in how we think about “crabbieness”. By realizing that somehow a few (or even a bunch!) of imaginary, irksome, and fun characters known as “The Crabbies” have gotten into our day, and that they are trying to ruin a perfectly good time, then, instead of telling someone, “Boy, you sure are crabby today,” we can say, “Hey, watch out, The Crabbies are getting us!”, and then work together to ‘get rid of The Crabbies!’
You can even help other children... CrabbieMasters creator, Becky Undlin, and her husband, are the aunt and uncle of two young adults currently volunteering in Salacuim, Guatemala through the Peace Corps. Among the many responsibilities and opportunities they have to aid this community, Kari and Corby also hope to raise money through a new scholarship program so that those who want to do so simply can afford to go to school.
I think you'll have as much fun with this website as the kids will... I did. I especially like their mission statement, which reads: "Help adults learn fun new ways to teach kids how to make every day a great day."
