About Nicholeen
When it comes to parenting, Nicholeen Peck is a worldwide phenomenon and leader — and for good reason! Her proven system based upon calmness, the principles of self-government, and good communication transforms even the most out-of-control teenagers and homes from chaos to calm within days. The world witnessed this in 2009 when the Peck family was featured on a one hour BBC documentary about parenting where 2 troubled British teens came to say in their home for 8 days. After 2 days the teens stopped rebelling, and by the end of the program begged not to leave the Peck family. She has appeared on various news shows and radio programs to discuss effective parenting. She’s a popular public speaker, author of the international book, Parenting a House United, and many other books including Roles, Londyn LaRae Says Okay, Porter Earns A Quarter, Big Win For Quin, Paije Takes the Stage, Popular Parenting Methods, and more. She has also written many magazine articles, and articles for this website.
Nicholeen’s Books have been translated into Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese and she has taught audiences throughout North America, and in Europe, Asia and Africa. It’s Nicholeen’s mission to heal families around the world from emotional bondage by teaching them the principles of self-government — the same principles that have set her and her family free. Though she’s an international speaker, author, mentor, former foster parent of many difficult and troubled teens, and even President of the Worldwide Organization for Women (an approved consultant for the United Nations), Nicholeen spends most of her time at home with her husband and four children, which she knows will be her greatest impact and legacy. The fact that she has such an international influence while still being a stay-at-home mom is evidence of the effectiveness of her teachings.

What are People Saying About Teaching Self-Government
I am a Psychotherapist with a practice that includes Families with Children that display extremely challenging behaviors - many due to Mental Health Diagnoses and Trauma in their early lives. Many of them are foster and adopted children, as well as, those in the Juvenile Justice System. In my community my treatment programthe last stop for children who have blown out of other treatment programs and are being considered for residential treatment - also for those who aretransitioninghome after residential treatment. I also have children and grandchildren of my own, and have had foster children with criminal behaviors prior to coming to my home. I have been working with families for more than 25 yrs. and have read numerous books about parenting and psychological techniques to help children with behavioral challenges. In my professional and personal opinion Nicholeen's approach to teaching children Self Government and helping families become United is absolutely the bestapproach/solution for all families to utilize - if they want a united, loving and cohesive family. The most unique aspect of Nicholeen's approach and delivery of her ideas is that not only does she have/share theories, she demonstrates how to put them into practice in her videos with actual clients/families.I have shared Nicholeen's books and CDs with many families and will continue to do so. I just purchased the Parenting University so I will have more visual aids to lend to my families. Speaking personally as a mother of adult children and a grandmother to children ages 5 to 14 I have a firm belief/testimony that "It is never too late and it is nevertoo early" to parent children in a more effective manner and change the dynamics within families in a positive and pro-social manner. No matter what the age of your children - this approach is fantastic and what's more important - IT WORKS - to change the lives of all involved in a profound way. I am deeply grateful and appreciative of Nicholeen and those who work with and support her in getting this information to those who are searching for help and answers to the complex job of parenting children in our increasingly troubled society/world. Best Regards,
The Peck Family
