| The Brownie Points Program is our way of saying thanks
to everyone who contributes to the ParentSays community. Your time is valuable and so are the
experiences, insights and tips you can offer to other parents. This is our way of
calling attention to your contributions and recognizing the super moms and dads
behind this site.

Why We Created This Program
Chances are you're reading this at work or while your
kids are otherwise occupied (e.g. asleep or in day care). We know you're busy and
that the time you take to help others at ParentSays is significant.
And yet it is so
important for our members to get your input. The few minutes you spend writing
reviews or making other contributions can offer peace of mind, and save time
and money for countless parents. Brownie Points are our small way of
saying thanks.

What You Get From Brownie Points
First, there's the Monthly Brownie Points Leader. At the end of every month,
we add up all the points earned by each member. The member with the highest
total for the month is featured on our home page. The monthly winner gets the
recognition they deserve and bragging rights for that month. Second, we rank all our members by
their total Brownie Points so you can see how your contributions stack up against
everyone else's.
As we continue to grow, we hope to expand this program by offering prizes as
further incentive. Our eventual goal is to provide real rewards for the real
benefits you provide to others. So stay tuned.
