The corporate world of business is an exhilarating and stressful environment requiring focus, creatively and goals to succeed. Nothing shifts a parents’ focus away from creativity faster than feeling emotionally exhausted after a tough evening, a difficult morning, or worrying about the kids. Shifting, changing or resolving what’s going on at home is the best way to return a parent employee to focus, creatively and goals at work.

Parents are doing the best they can yet feel stressed and overwhelmed. The stress can lead to reacting to a child’s behavior instead of teaching them about it, and can cause important things to slip through the cracks, both at home and at work.

Parents don’t have the time or energy to seek out the parenting assistance they want and need after a long day. They need parenting assistance to come to them during the day when they have the brainpower to absorb and retain the information.

A survey of 18,000 employees done by DuPont states, “Parents who attend parenting seminars either through Work Life Balance programs or a Perks Program are the most committed to their employers and the least likely to feel overwhelmed.” 

That’s exactly what Proactive Parenting offers. We bring our seminars to your employee parents either in person, online or by phone during the lunch hour.

Parents come home equipped with new tools and methods to use. As a result, they arrive at work refreshed, focused and ready to handle the tasks at hand.

Maureen Corcoran, Vice President of Diversity at Prudential says, “Wise businesses today realize this reality and are sharing the responsibility for finding solutions and helping parents/employees fix the problem. If employees have children and have to take care of the needs of those children, and they also have a job and need to be able to be at work and be focused, then what you ask yourself is, ‘What kinds of programs would help?’”

Companies like Intel, PayPal, eBay faced the question put forth by Prudential, and have answered it by having Proactive Parenting do parent seminars during the lunch hour. Parents have enjoyed the realistic, practical, useful and often humorous tips and solutions Proactive Parenting suggests to solve the issues they’re facing every day while raising children ages 1-10.
