Hi, I’m Deanna
I’m a health professional, educator, and researcher.
With nearly 30 years of experience working with families, I understand that many parents worry about possibly harming their children when setting limits and enforcing discipline. They fear damaging their child’s physical or mental well-being, or stifling their natural growth.
That’s why I developed the Proactive Parenting method – to help parents overcome these concerns. By adopting a long-term view and recognizing that boundaries are not restrictive but liberating, it becomes easier for parents to apply consistent discipline and boundaries.
This method blends the latest in pediatric development, scientific research, and standards from global pediatric organizations with practical experience to mesh with the realities of modern families.
If you’re a new parent or simply unsure how to proceed, I invite you to learn more about Proactive Parenting. Discover how understanding your child’s developmental stages allows you to meet their needs in a caring and effective way.
The beauty of Proactive Parenting is the responsiveness it gives you to understand and anticipate your child’s development, and tailor your approach accordingly.
My hope is that this strategy helps you guide your child towards positive behaviors early on, emphasizing prevention over correction for a happier, more enjoyable family life.

Your past, your experiences with your own parents, and the structure of your family don’t define your ability to love and nurture. You possess the power to be the loving, kind parent you aspire to be, transforming the lives of your children and your family.
