PR: No Time to Read? Try Parents Digest
September 27, 2008
Let’s Face It……Parenting Is A Multi-Tasking Juggling Act – ParentsDigest.com Takes At Least One Ball Out Of The Air
Parenthoood is an exhilarating, life changing, and extraordinarily exhausting experience. It brings new meaning to the word “juggle” and is unexplainable until you are engulfed in it. Most parents go into it with the best intentions and aspirations. Then, upon countless sleepless nights and overscheduled days, many just try to keep their heads above water.
It happens quickly. Parents on the fly realize there is no sure-fire approach to parenting. That’s why so many advice-ridden, inspiring parenting books have been written. But, who has the time or energy to search through them as they stack up on their nightstand?
Thankfully, parents can now turn to ParentsDigest.com to get the information they need. The website is the inspiration of a Marin couple, Pam and Jack McLaughlin, who found themselves in a non-stop world with three kids under the age of three. Needless to say, there was no time to scour through books to learn about topics ranging from two year old meltdowns to bringing up children in a green, healthy environment. But, as their children grew and life became a bit more manageable they had a moment to breathe and gave birth to a great idea.
Why not summarize top-notch parenting books and share the best bite sized nuggets with over-tired parents? That idea is the inspiration of ParentsDigest.com. An experienced editorial team writes concise eight page snapshots of parenting books so parents don’t have to try to comb through them. For less than $6 a month, two book summaries are delivered on topics the parents choose. And, for a limited time, parents can receive two summaries for no charge.
“Ever since I was little, I loved to read. I was that girl that hid under the covers, clenched my flashlight in my hand, and read the latest Nancy Drew mystery,” says ParentsDigest.com founder Pam McLaughlin. “When my daughter was born, I naturally searched through bookstores for parenting books. And, with twins arriving shortly thereafter, all I craved was parenting advice. But, I had no time or energy to find it. And I know other parents don’t either. That’s why we started ParentsDigest.com. It’s basically “Cliff Notes” for parents.”
Currently, the summaries are available via email or can be downloaded in a PDF format.
ParentsDigest.com is located in Larkspur, California. The company has summaries on over 130 books and has plans to have a minimum of 200 by the end of the year. For more information, visit ParentsDigest.com.
