*******
Welcome to misc.kids, the newsgroup for parents, soon-to-be
parents, and other people interested in children. In this group,
we discuss issues relevant to pregnancy and child rearing, solicit
advice from other netters on a host of parenting concerns,
and generally seek and provide support and encouragement with
respect to raising kids. This is a group intended for parents of
children of *all* ages, though questions about babies and younger
children seem to predominate. For a fascinating look at the readership
of misc.kids, we urge you to read the results of a survey created,
conducted and compiled by Jonathan Rice (see FAQ index under
"misc.kids reader demographics").
This document introduces new readers both to the preferred
etiquette for misc.kids and to a service we have devised
in this group: a compilation of files of Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ).
*** Etiquette Guidelines ***
Most of the guidelines here are the same as in
news.announce.newusers. However, they bear repeating from time to
time.
o While there is a newsgroup (alt.kids-talk) for non-adults to
participate in, comments from children and teens are very welcome
in this newsgroup.
o Please respond via e-mail whenever possible; if the
original poster was soliciting advice/information, s/he should
post a summary to the net. This helps cut down on net traffic.
o Please read all follow-ups before posting one of your own;
in many cases, someone else has already covered the same point.
o Please limit the amount of material included from previous
postings as much as possible, and try to be concise. Remember
that most of the audience for misc.kids are busy parents.
However, please make sure you include enough of the original post
so as to make your follow-up sensible. (For example, follow-ups
such as "I totally agree!" with no material included from the
previous article make no sense at all, due to the nature of news
readers.)
o Please watch your attributions carefully; avoid misquotes and
misconstructions.
o Please avoid (whenever possible) cross-postings to other
newsgroups--especially to soc.men and soc.women!
o Please post only once for each subject, and try to limit the
number of postings to an average of one per day.
o Please refrain from name-calling, tantrums or other hysterics--
we get enough of that from our children :-).
*** Index to FAQ Files ***
If you are interested in any of the following topics, please
e-mail the contact person directly, who will then
send you a copy of the file. Please be specific when requesting
files, as some folks maintain more than one FAQ file. If you would like
to add something to the files listed, please also do so via e-mail,
and indicate that you would like your comments added to the
FAQ file.
If you ask for an FAQ file and don't get it within a week, it
may have bounced. When you ask again, please be sure to include your
e-mail address in the body of your request, in case 'reply' doesn't
work. ("Rec." = "Recommendations")
