Jana Penrod, LLP

Let’s face it, some children are just harder to parent than others. They are challenging from the beginning, resisting directions, having tantrums and meltdowns, or arguing with you every step of the way. Yelling, swearing and spanking will never help your child learn self-control and have more positive behavior.

I have worked with families in their homes for 35 years and raised 2 challenging children as a single parent. I know how hard it is! But I also know you have more power to improve your child’s behavior than anyone else. And I can teach you how!

Whether your child has been diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, AHDA, autism or has not been diagnosed, there is help. I work together with primary caregivers to teach you how your child thinks and help you understand how to motivate them to control their own behavior and make better choices every day. And every day is a new day! No need for charts or stickers, or other complicated systems. The best intervention fits within the flow of your day, whatever that may mean for you.

By providing a plan that is custom made for your family, you can shape your child’s personality into a future adult who is positive and productive and will likely become a positive leader. Let’s work together for 2-3 months. I know your family can start moving in a much more positive direction in a very short amount of time.
