Editorial Standards

Our Editorial Standards explain how NaijaParenting creates responsible, useful and trustworthy content for Nigerian parents at home and abroad.

Research and sourcing

Writers should use the strongest sources appropriate to the subject, including recognised public-health bodies, peer-reviewed research, official guidance, qualified experts and reputable educational institutions. We distinguish established evidence from emerging ideas and personal experience.

Writing and review

Articles must be clear about who they are for, avoid alarmist claims and acknowledge meaningful limitations. Sensitive health content may receive an additional subject-matter review under our Medical Review Policy. Editors check structure, sourcing, clarity, safety and cultural relevance before publication.

Accuracy, updates and corrections

We review evergreen pages when guidance or circumstances materially change. If we discover a substantive error, we correct it promptly and, where useful, note what changed. Readers can report an issue through our Contact page.

Artificial intelligence

Technology may support research organisation, transcription, ideation or editing, but it does not replace editorial accountability. Material must be checked by a responsible human editor before publication, and sources must be verified rather than invented.

Independence and disclosure

Advertisers and partners do not receive the right to dictate independent editorial conclusions. Sponsored material, affiliate relationships, review samples and significant conflicts are disclosed. Reviews should consider safety, usefulness, value and audience fit—not only commercial benefit.

Respect and representation

We avoid stigma and stereotypes. We aim to represent varied family structures, locations, abilities, income levels and experiences across Nigeria and the diaspora while protecting children’s dignity and privacy.
