Empowering Parents

An American parenting website which advocates techniques amounting to emotional abuse, as well as a worldview which should have been left in the 1950s.
My child's not been behaving like some sort of mid-twentieth-century Puritain, but that Lehman bloke over at Empowering Parents said I should just discipline her and totally ignore the underlying issues.

Pierogi Parents 

Polish parents who moved to America and discouraged their kids from learning Polish or about Polish traditions, leaving their children and grandchildren with no sense of Polish culture other than the existence of Pierogi.
“Hey man, Happy święconka! You’re Polish, right?”

“Nah, my parents were Pierogi Parents, I don’t know what that is.”
