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.


	.......................


	This platform is designed to be used by people from all nationalities, it will operate primarily in English. Why English ? Here is the reason (to the point, in four and a half minutes):x .


	The rules of decency, honesty and protection of privacy have absolute priority. However, there are no restrictions in regard to age, gender, race, religion and political opinion. The purpose of this service is to allow you to get to know kindred spirits who can be your friends as well as partners and possibly mentors for your child (and of course vice versa).


	There are a lot more ways to make things happen than meet the eye. People of any walk of life have a lot more to offer than they assume. What appears to be a matter-of-fact thing to some may be a case of genuine support or a wish fulfilled to someone else.

	A fact: in most people there is readiness to help others, provided there is trust. This is why the Parental Pal concept is based on building trust and allowing ample time for it. ParentalPal.Org is slow-motion-networking !

	This is about what you can do as a member, what you can expect and what you should rather not do:

Member / Visitor
Every interested person will be able to access all general information about the Parental Pal Network, get a real time overview over current statistics and be able to read all about philosophy, short- and longterm goals and progress made via the ParentalPal.Org websites and weblogs. Only members however will be able to access personal information about other Parental Pals. How much will they see? This depends entirely on every individual Pal and their profile settings. These settings can be changed as often and as individually as it suits the current situation of this member family. What’s more, you decide which parts of your personal information should be accessible in general (by any other member) and which details are to be revealed individually.

Contacting a member / protecting privacy
Parental Pals can contact each other within the network by sending them a PM (personal message) with questions, offers of dialogue and suggestions. The answer can be anything from a simple “No thanks” to a long and detailed reply letter. No unwanted “cold calling” will be possible and no members’ contact details can be viewed unless they themselves make these visible to the network.
A high percentage of members is quite happy to behave openly and to be visible within a protected network pursuing the same interests, but the decision will always remain a personal one. Family life and the welfare of our children require a high level of protection of privacy.

Opportunities and options
Basically you can seek or offer anything that seems sensible and helpful to add quality to family life and the childrens’ future prospects, you can publish anything that will help other Parental Pals to get to know you better. Feel free to publish stories, to link to your personal photopages or family-blogs as well as to weblogs, establish links to sites relating to what you believe in or want to define as part of what you are and what you aim for! Adding such information to your profile allows a better understanding of the values and aims in your family’s life - they show who you are and what you want for your children !


	Look for pals who share your profession, seek fellow members of organizations you belong to (i. e. NGOs), search for families with similar structures (example: triplets) or comparable handicaps like an autistic child - please check the Sphere for the full mind map: Use the network to make your own family stronger and share your strength in good comradeship on all generation levels.

Definitely not welcome are:
selfishness, arrogance, intolerance, insults, indecencies, bad taste ...
The Parental Pal network is not to be used for commercial purposes (no advertising), for spreading any political or religious opinions and for contacting other people for any other purpose than establishing good and honest partnerships with other parents (please read all about the No Bull Policy here).

Members should feel welcome and comfortable, just as they would in the company of reliable friends and long time companions whom they can trust. We will therefore not tolerate anything that will make anyone feel intimidated, hurt feelings or place a threat in any way. Please see the Terms and Conditions for more detailed information.

Constantly changing demands are the hallmark of modern life and require life long learning, a good command of languages, an array of social skills and (this is a best case scenario !) the understanding that new challenges are to be seen and met with humour, charm, confidence, common sense and lots of sound knowledge. Easier said than done, but quite possible.

You hope that your children will pass the trials of life with flying colours and a smile in their face. And they can.
