Parental Pals are passionate parents who believe in open minded education.
Their key elements: a global perspective, playful curiosity, confidence, respect,
good humoured common sense and partner families with a kindred spirit.

They see the benefits of cooperation. Here is where they meet.

An application for membership is made in full agreement with this policy. It is a personal promise to hold high the Parental Pals’ code of honour: “Be as fair, truthful, generous and authentic to pals and partners and their children as you would want them to be towards yourself and your family. Treat all kids for the future they represent and with the responsibility and kindness they need.”

Our favourite amongst “Community Standards” for reference & guidance:

Sincerity and straight talk. Reliability and integrity.
The essentials of any good and lasting relationship.
No doubt: online they are just as important.

Many people are truly tired of wasting their time online,
they don’t want multitudes of “friends” they don’t know,
they have enough of bullshitters and mindless bla-bla.

Therefore we declare this to be our No-Bull-Policy :

Parental Pals value decency, manners and respect.
What they say is true and if they are asked a question,
they give an answer.
Perhaps it’s a polite “No, thanks” but it is an answer.
They don’t pretend, boast or flatter. They talk straight
and mean what they say.

ParentalPal.Org is a place of common sense, fairness
and good partnership where nobody takes advantage.

Barry Schwartz, the exceptional sociologist and psychologist, has
a fundamental and truly convincing definition - we build on this:

moral will + moral skill = practical wisdom
