Definition of Parenting Advice in Minti

Comment Published at 05:5905:592 comments2 comments175 Visits175 VisitsReport
I feel that it is any advice directly providing benefit for other parents in bringing up their children, however that means everything related around the family unit and all the topics that fall under the family and parenting. However, the advice has to show why it helps being a better parent as a result (via experience sharing, quoting, explaining etc)

Maybe the stress test is..."will it improve the quality of life for other/my children", if yes, then explain why?

When researching this idea, I felt that the market was already saturated with general advice, and real parenting advice based solely on sharing to improve the quality of life for children globally did not exist like Minti does and I see this as a unique feature of Minti and holds a higher purpose.

I think it's awesome groups is for anything... We have areas like groups to handle other things like household tips and general tips, for general advice at the moment is great on blogs, groups and forums...we are thinking of what we can do for general advice...if you have any ideas please feel free to share (currently anything that is non- parenting advice in Minti is getting rating down).

i like this stress test!  i wonder if it would help to have a little tagline printed to this affect somewhere on the write advice page.  that way parents could keep this in mind while they write.  you could do a one week experiment to examine the quality of advice and see if there's any change.

Sounds like a good idea Jen.  At least then while we write advice we are bearing in mind what others want as well as what we want to share.  And maybe as we write may realise it is better suited to maybe a blog somewhere....
