Dr. Kelly Pryde is an entrepreneur, speaker and author in the fields of parenting and self-development. In addition to being a wife and mother of two, she holds a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Waterloo and has over 10 years experience in research, education and consulting. Her award-winning research on child learning and development has been published in numerous international journals and her parenting articles have appeared in magazines such as Oh Baby! and Baby Attitude.

In 2005, Kelly left a corporate career as a learning and development consultant and founded DreamKids™ – a company dedicated to celebrating, inspiring and developing the potential of children from birth and up. Created as a response to the toy market’s heavy focus on raising “brainy babies,” DreamKids develops unique products that go beyond ABCs and 123s in fun, enriching ways to nurture each child’s “unique potential for greatness.”

Known for her inspiring and down-to-earth approach, Kelly is passionate about empowering parents to live and parent with more energy, wisdom and passion. Through DreamKids’ free monthly e-newsletter, “DK Parents,” Kelly offers parents and caregivers inspiring and practical ideas on how to communicate and connect with their children in positive, enriching ways. Her new seminar program Reinventing Mom™ offers leading-edge ideas and guidance to fellow Moms on how to restore balance in their lives and engage their inner wisdom to become the Moms and women they're meant to be.

Kelly also speaks regularly to high school students, spreading her message about the importance of discovering and connecting with your passion for career planning and development. She lives with her husband and two children in the Greater Toronto Area, Canada.
