the Crabbies

This is a neat site: http://crabbiemasters.com. The official program appears to be designed for use with very young kids, but the principle is great and worth examining. It pretty much represents my philosophy about child care/teaching/parenting. Thanks, duponthumanite, for introducing me to the Crabbies. This could be a fun thing to work with depending on my crowds in the future–most of my current crowd is a bit old for the activities on the site but not for the concepts.

Camus or Einstein said:

“Nobody realises how much energy some people expend to be normal.”

I can see how you might behave badly when you are tired.

Did you ever hear of the Crabbies?

Too-Tired is a particularly horrible one.

You can then say to LuLu or to one of your other kids, “Hey, I think the too-tired crabbie is here.”
Tiredness of the keeping-up kind can manifest also in late adolescence or early adulthood. It did that for me. I was an energetic child of six, seven and eight.
