EmpoweringParents.com Helps Parents Keep their Temper in Check and their Kids' Backtalk at Bay during Summer Break

WESTBROOK, Maine--(Business Wire)--
While summer vacation is a time kids look forward to all year, it
can be a time of high stress for parents. Children are home with
plenty of time on their hands, which can lead to fighting with
siblings, power struggles with parents, and defiant behavior.
EmpoweringParents.com recently published two articles by James Lehman,
MSW that help parents deal with the more challenging aspects of summer
break. "Temper, Temper: How to Keep Your Cool When Kids Push Your
Buttons" and "Sick of Backtalk? Here's How to Stop it" have both set
records for the magazine in terms of popularity and the number of
times each was emailed to friends.

Elisabeth Wilkins is the Editor of EmpoweringParents.com. "Our
Backtalk article was emailed to more than 500 people in 24 hours--a
new record for us. Parents are writing in and saying, 'Who says summer
vacation is supposed to be fun?' While summer break can be relaxing
for many, when you're in the middle of a months-long power struggle
with your kids, it can be a challenge to maintain sanity. In
Empowering Parents, we feature articles that give hands-on help to
families by including effective techniques they can put into practice
right away. We've become a safe place for parents to go to on the web
to find answers to their questions about the toughest behaviors kids
exhibit, from backtalk to temper tantrums, sibling rivalry to teens
who are violent in the home. Parents come to us to find answers, and
to find other people in the same situation with whom they can talk."

The formula seems to be working, because in the one and half years
the award-winning magazine has been online, it already has more then
135,000 readers.

Empowering Parents currently features a weekly newsletter, a blog
that parents can join by becoming "Parent Bloggers," online articles
by child behavior experts, and interactive polls. Wilkins added that
the next step for the site is to "get our forum going this month. This
will encourage parents who are already reaching out to one another
through insightful comments after each article and blog posts to talk
with each other in greater depth about their particular parenting
challenges."
