because the requirement
to be productiveisn’t realistic.

“Moms and dads are attempting to do it all,
trying to keep work stress at work,
and family stress at home.”

We tolerate lying awake at night
focused on tomorrow’s presentation,
but ignore the effects of a
difficult evening with the kids.

That stress erodes productivity,
whether we like it or not.

“Since I’m at work this helps me put things into perspective and find new ways to work with my kids, since punishment isn’t fun for any of us! German Scipioni – eBay

What Real Parents Have to Say

Proactive Parenting’s presentation struck a nice balance between scientific data regarding childhood development and practical, well-grounded advice on how to work with children. Her tips were equally applicable to the adults we work, a great reminder on how to manage our teams.”

J. Chusid – HR at eBay

“Sharon Silver, provides sensible, modern advice real parents can really use. It can be difficult to navigate the differing opinions of experts in this digital age, but Sharon simplifies developmental concepts and provides parents with actionable advice to raise healthy, ethical, competent kids in a flash.”

Dr. Lynne Kenney, PsyD, Pediatric Psychologist and author of The Family Coach Method.

“A glorious collection of parenting tips that moms can instantly use to help them raise good and caring kids.”
Michele Borba, Ed.D.

“I found the presentation very helpful, as I have a four-year-old who is exhibiting much of the behavior that Sharon reassured us was “normal”. It would be great to hear more topics.”

Amy Hanly - eBay

“I interview top parenting experts every day for my work, Sharon Silver’s advice is incredibly calming and very do-able. Concepts are fine and good, but providing actual words we can use—That’s pure parenting gold.”

Teri Cettina, contributing editor, Parenting Magazine

“As the former president and co-founder of my previous company’s 500-person parent group, I had Sharon Silver come in to speak on more topics than I can count. Sharon has guided my husband and I through many parenting challenges and I truly consider her a trusted advisor. In my own mentoring, I have often shared that being a parent has made me a better employee, manager and leader. It’s taught me patience, better empathy, to be strong in my values, to trust my instincts and to remember to celebrate and have fun. Thank you, Sharon. Your wisdom seems to never end.”

Traci Zenti - Amazon Web Services

“Sharon’s programs are a substantive counterbalance to the linear thinking that corporate life demands. Her programs have been well received, and very well attended for the last 10 years.”

Reed Falkenberg, Intel IPN Presiden
