CrabbieMasters
is a very happy and proud winner of this prestigious educational website award.
“Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award™ is the only award program to ever be
honored by Disney.com.”
Minneapolis,
MN (PRWEB) February 28, 2006 -- Having just launched this creative parenting
and childcare concept in January, Becky Undlin, twenty-five year in-home preschool
owner notes, “We are ecstatic that the concepts of CrabbieMasters
and “Beating
The Crabbies!”
(e.g. Achey, Get-Along, Too-Tired…) could receive such wonderful recognition
so fast.” In terms of why CrabbieMasters won, Jodie Lynn, syndicated parenting
expert and author, put it best:
"Everyone has enjoyed getting to know about CrabbieMasters and The Crabbies.
This is a must
do and go to educational website that will inspire parents and kids alike.
CrabbieMasters and ‘The Crabbies’ provide preschool, childcare and
homeschool teachers and parents with practical positive resources to help
children learn values and manage behavior and emotions. The best part is
that the kids love to blame their unacceptable behavior on a Crabbie...it's
a great idea by bringing a whole new concept to the forefront creating a
positive outcome for good behavior!" ~ Jodie Lynn, syndicated parenting/health
expert, Parent

The Adding Wisdom
Award committees are comprised of experts from across the United States: parents,
teachers, librarians, pediatricians, psychologists, media critics, child care
facility personnel and directors, and other professionals who are involved
with children on a daily basis. These committees look for products that entertain
and teach, inspiring imagination and creativity.
Additionally, the committees are interested in how products help children
grow ethically, socially, intellectually, emotionally and physically. After
the committees approve products, the items are then given to Family Testers
' real families ' for testing and evaluation before final decisions are reached.
Becky created
‘The
Crabbies’
(well, ‘stumbled on’ might be more accurate) in the late 1980’s, and has used
this and many related concepts (e.g. WiseOnes, U.L.T.I.M.A.T.E. Skills, Kids-In-Charge)
in her own in-home preschool for almost twenty years. Teaching young children
to become CrabbieMasters has become the single greatest key – the foundation
really – to her success in working with children of preschool age and older.
For years, she wanted to find a way to share everything she has learned to
help adults help children (and themselves!) deal with the inevitable ups and
downs of any given day. One of her earliest preschoolers, Paul Fischer, had
been after her to build a website for a long time and now, with his creative
energy, it’s done. Becky hopes it will be as valuable of a resource to other
adults, caregivers, parents and teachers of young children as it has been
to her.
Oh,
it’s all free too
– unless you want to make a donation or go to a very small store with a few
items that might help you and the children you work with “Crack Down on
The Crabbies!” – but truly, you can get everything you need to “BEAT The
Crabbies!” just browsing through the website and downloading helpful printables
without spending a penny. Becky simply thinks that that’s the way it should
be.
Now everyone
can beat “The
Crabbiest Crabbie in the Whole Universe!”
– and we know which one it is…
