Parenting a kid with ADHD and/or autism doesn't have to feel this hard.

Right now, you might feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and at a loss for how to help your child. Big emotions, big behaviors, and daily struggles have taken over, and despite your best efforts, nothing seems to be working.

Let's talk TRUTH a minute.

The problem is not your child. And you are not failing.

The struggle is real, but it doesn't have to persist.

You’re working incredibly hard, but traditional parenting advice simply wasn’t designed for neurodivergent kids. Your child doesn’t need fixing. They need understanding, support, and an environment that leans into their strengths. 

So you just need a different approach — one that's proven with neuroscience and experience, and that actually works for the way your child’s brain is wired. 

That's where I come in!

Hello!

I'm Penny.

I haven't always gotten this parenting thing right.

I’ve been exactly where you are — frustrated, confused, and desperate for answers. When my child was diagnosed with ADHD in 2008, I spent years searching for solutions, only to realize the real breakthrough came when I stopped trying to “fix” my child and instead focused on changing the way I parented, creating opportunities for success.

That shift changed everything.

Now, as a parenting coach, educator, and author specializing in ADHD, autism, and anxiety, I help parents like you move from survival mode to success mode — with science-backed strategies designed for your uniquely complex child.

What if your child's challenging behavior isn't a choice, but a nervous system response?

That meltdown over socks that feel “wrong.”

The refusal to follow directions at school.

The shut-down silence when they’re overwhelmed.

That explosive reaction to a tiny change in routine.

The constant movement that never seems to stop — even when they’re exhausted.

These aren’t just behaviors, they’re signals — signs that your child needs your help.

Regulation, Not Punishment, Is the Path to Change

It's time to stop trying to "fix" your kid, and adjust your parenting for the kid you've got.

When your child's nervous system is in fight, flight, or freeze, they can’t access logic, reasoning, or even basic cooperation. That’s not “bad behavior” — it’s a dysregulated nervous system doing its job to keep them safe.

Once you know what’s happening inside, you can finally respond in ways that work.

Regulation is the key to improved behavior, and a thriving kid and family.

Let's get really clear on what's driving your kid's behavior.

Take my FREE Animal Instincts Quiz to uncover your child’s instinctual dominant stress response. You’ll get immediate insights into what’s really going on when your kid's behavior spirals, and what your child actually needs to support their nervous system so they can feel safe, connected, and ready to thrive.

A roadmap to a thriving kid and family

Shifting from survival mode to success mode is a matter of

S.C.A.L.E.

Trying to change everything at once when parenting a child or teen with ADHD, autism, and/or anxiety leads to overwhelm, frustration, and burnout — for both of you. When you spread your energy too thin, nothing sticks, and progress feels impossible.

That’s why scaling is key. Small, meaningful wins build confidence, momentum, and lasting change. Success comes from strategic shifts, step by step, so each approach has time to take root.

That’s why I created the S.C.A.L.E. Method — a structured, manageable path forward. Instead of feeling stuck, you’ll take clear, actionable steps that build on each other, creating a snowball effect of progress and success.

SHIFT

Mindset matters! Redefine what success looks like for your kid and your family. Advocate for this with teachers and other adults in your kid's life too.

CONNECT

Strong and empathetic adult-child connections help kids feel seen, heard, and truly understood, which is necessary for motivation and growth.

ADJUST

Set realistic expectations based on development and provide the right support at home and school to increase doability and success.

LEVEL-UP

Build confidence and grit by challenging kids within their window of tolerance with just right challenges that meet them where they are.

EMPOWER

Develop essential life-long skills like regulation, emotional intelligence, flexibility, and problem-solving.
