New technology and social networking is allowing bullying to spread in new ways. Even when they are not at school, kids are still unable to escape the meanness! Many kids are being taunted, bullied and harrassed on their Facebook pages or via texting. The summer camps at www.kidsempowered.com are essential to give your kids the opportunity to learn the tools they need to stand up for themselves and for others as well as to learn the skills they need to handle issues at school or after school.
"In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings."
