Please Read This Before Submitting Your Lens!
Our Topics:We're looking for lenses that will help parents from all kinds of families find great ways to make the most of the time they spend with their kids. If you're an expert on family time, share your knowledge with us!
Appropriate topics include: toys, games, books, music, learning activities, holiday traditions, and fun parenting advice. Food lenses which include recipes specifically for children are also welcome.
If you have a great lens about enriching the lives of kids, submit it to Family Time and share your knowledge with parents, caregivers and families everywhere!
If your lens does not fit in with the group theme of "Quality Time", you may want to check out the related groups listed below.
Our Guidelines:
The purpose of the Family Time group is to educate, instruct and share. In order to make sure that our content is of the best quality, we have some standards that we wish to maintain.
Here are some of the things we look for:
1) Lenses should contain at least two original written content modules that are related to our topic, not including the introduction, product reviews or Wikipedia modules.
2) Lensmasters should have a detailed profile with Contact Me enabled. Remember that no one can view your email address directly.
To learn more about joining groups on Squidoo, visit Squid Etiquette. For ideas on how to create super, successful lenses, visit some of our recommended help lenses in the sidebar.
All lenses that are accepted into Family Time are reviewed and rated, as well as featured here on the HQ page. Don't forget to check out some group lenses and join in the Group Discussion!
