About the Seal
of Approval
Holiday 2012
The National Parenting Center's Seal of Approval program
is an independent testing procedure conducted to judge
a variety of products introduced and marketed to the
parent/child consumer market.
The testing involves a multi-step process conducted
over an eight week period. Staffed by volunteers,
the testing facility of The National Parenting Center
gives parents, children, and educators the opportunity
to examine a variety of submitted products. The testers
are encouraged to play with, build, read about, and
judge by the reactions of the children, each product's
quality.
Participants fill out questionnaires for each product
they test. Evaluated are each product's level of
desirability, sturdiness, interactive stimulation
and other ingredients essential in the make-up of
a quality product. Test results are based on both
statistical averaging and comments received from
the parent/testers.
The Seal of Approval program is designed to continue
the efforts of The National Parenting Center, which
was chartered in 1989 to help create better informed
parents as they tackle the challenges of parenting
in the new millennium.
**The National Parenting Center's Seal of Approval
recognition
does not imply or guarantee the safety of products listed.**
