The National Parenting Center has released its 21st annual Spring Seal of Approval report. The first report of 2011 is released after two months of consumer testing by parents and children at The National Parenting Center’s test centers.

TNPC’s evaluative process gauges consumer reaction to products currently being marketed to both parents and their children such as toys, games, books, videos, websites, educational products, mobile apps (new for 2011) and more. Each is reviewed on a variety of levels including price, packaging, design, stimulation, desirability, age appropriateness, instructions and more. TNPC’s Seal of Approval is ultimately a peer-to-peer review program to recognize and highlight products and services that have been met with a “thumbs up” by parents.

Since 1989, The National Parenting Center has established itself as North America’s leading parent advocacy organization. TNPC offers advice and information to parents on issues that range from pregnancy to adolescence. For articles on parenting issues and Seal of Approval reviews, go online to www.tnpc.com.
