Frequently asked questions
Find answers to common parenting questions, including how to manage challenging behaviors in children, support communication, establish positive routines, and understand how ABA parent consultations can help your family
How can I manage challenging behaviors in my child?
Managing challenging behaviors starts with understanding why they happen. At Paceway Care, Claret, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with over 8 years of experience, helps parents explore evidence-based strategies tailored to their child’s needs.
Why does my child not listen when I talk?
Difficulty following instructions often stems from challenges in receptive language, attention, sensory processing, or motivation. We help you identify what is contributing to this barrier and teach you clear, positive reinforcement techniques that encourage your child to respond and cooperate.
What should I do if my child cries for long periods when denied something?
Extended crying and meltdowns typically occur when a child struggles to tolerate denial, transition, or communicate distress. We develop personalized behavior support strategies to support you to help your child learn emotional regulation, coping mechanisms, and alternative ways to express their wants calmly.
How much does a consultation cost?
A 45-minute virtual parent or caregiver consultation costs $60 USD and includes personalized guidance from Claret Chacon, M.S., BCBA, and a written consultation summary.

Why does my child not listen when I talk?
Children may struggle to follow instructions because of communication difficulties, distractions, sensory sensitivities, or challenges understanding expectations. Rather than assuming your child is refusing to listen, it’s important to understand what may be affecting their response. At Paceway Care, Claret helps parents recognize possible barriers and explore practical strategies to improve communication, cooperation, and everyday routines.
What should I do if my child cries for long periods when denied something?
When a child cries for an extended period after being told “no,” they may be experiencing frustration, difficulty communicating, or challenges regulating their emotions. Staying calm, acknowledging their feelings, and maintaining consistent, appropriate boundaries can help. At Paceway Care, Claret guides parents in understanding possible triggers and exploring supportive, evidence-based strategies tailored to their family’s needs.
