Primary (5-8) aged youth are impressionable and respond to exciting and creative activities. This is an excellent time to enhance a child's learning experiences and self-perception. Being defined as a winner or loser at this age is a weak foundation for their development.

You may encourage your primary members to complete a Primary Member Record Book with assistance from their adult volunteer, parents/guardians, or older members. 

NOTE: Upon turning 9 years of age, a former primary member's years in 4-H, years in all projects, and records of participation and activities for record books all reset. Items listed in any primary PDR do not carry over to future regular member PDRs.
