-- 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."
Empowering Parents is produced by Legacy Publishing Company and was
created to provide useful problem-solving techniques for parents and
children. Legacy Publishing is the company behind The Total Transformation
and Total Focus Programs--two unique products that have been used by
thousands of parents, teachers, coaches and other mentors of children to
improve communication and modify problematic behaviors.
