Dr. Nelsen is a licensed marriage, family and child counselor in South Jordan, Utah and San Clemente, CA. She is the author or coauthor of many books on child discipline, and has also developed training workshops to complement her ideas. Jane holds a doctorate degree in Educational Psychology from the University of San Francisco in 1979, but considers this secondary to the education and experience she has achieved from her successes and failures as a mother of seven children. She now shares her experience through speeches and workshops around the United States.

Jane has been very well received by school districts, teachers' organizations, conferences, and parent education networks throughout the world. She has appeared on Oprah, Sally Jessy Raphael, and Twin Cities Live, and was the featured parent expert on the National Parent Quiz with Ben Vereen.
