The purpose of this website 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 now, you will have 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! They sure do for us! More than one friend has asked us for their very own “Blow Out Your Crabbies” poster!

One of the first things to recognize is that “Everyone Gets The Crabbies” or better said, “The Crabbies Get Everyone!”

What we mean by this is that 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!’

That’s the essence of what this whole website is all about...how to get rid of The Crabbies, whenever, however they show up and to do it in a fun way that children really relate to and find exciting!

So go ahead! Get started! And before long you will know all about The Crabbies, how to BEAT ‘em, become a CrabbieMaster™, and teach children how to become CrabbieMasters themselves!
