    Little kids can have big emotions. Even the best parents can be bewildered at how to help their children navigate them. As many a parent has come to learn, distraction can be a friend when it comes to dealing with the temperamental ups and-downs of young minds. While more serious behavioral issues need to be dealt with directly, the "ga-geebie method" has shown to be a successful response time and again! In this Front Porch parenting piece, Primerrily wants to introduce you to the little invisible critter we call a “ga-geebie.” Listen to the full podcast to learn how to implement it and not only survive the grumps but thrive after them!

    The Primerrily Crew echoes President Harry Truman's belief that “Not all readers become leaders, but all leaders must be readers.” For that reason, the selections we read to and with our kids are not chosen lightly. We want our children not only to love reading, but also to love learning ideas -- true, good, and meaningful ideas. When you pick a book from Primerrily's bookshelf, you can trust that it’s been vetted for against the following standards: Show main characters with desirable character traits Present characters who work hard to overcome challenging circumstances Possess a clear moral or lesson Encourage kids to pursue further learning and/or take positive action Provide discussion opportunities between reader and child about American values or traditions Listen to the full podcast to learn more and get started on one of our favorite Primerrily book recommendations!
