Kelly Tay is a certified parent educator, founder of Juicy Parenting, author, and mother of two.

Through her courses and online membership, she teaches Asian parents how to lead with calm and confidence, not fear and force — so that children stay close with family because they want to, not because they feel obliged to.

With the vast majority of Respectful Parenting resources coming from the US/UK, Kelly’s distinctly Asian point-of- view makes her a unique voice in the space.

Prior to her career pivot into parent education, she was an award-winning journalist who spent a decade in financial writing. She is a Fulbright scholar (Columbia University), and continues to provide parenting commentaries in the media.
