City firms hiring 'Parenting Consultants'

“Professionals seek professionals,” Kathryn Mewes, a Parenting Consultant, says to the Financial Times (FT).

Mewes is one of many Parenting Consultants who is now paid to give parenting seminars at corporate companies. She explains why her help is sought after: “Parents are getting older; they have been in control their whole lives and been successful. Suddenly a baby turns up and life turns on its head.”
