Jen, what does your teacher suggest about reeds to use? If the ones you're using are consistently airy-sounding or "just way too hard and hardly respond at all," you're almost certainly choosing the wrong reeds. Do any of the reeds in a box of what you're using work?

Is your mouthpiece, especially the facing, intact?

There are lots of things to refine a new learner's sound production over time (adult or child), but this problem sounds like there should be a quick solution.
