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
My husband and I are the proud parents of eight children and I am a God-fearing stay-at-home mom who tries to keep up on what happens with their lives. We also have enough, but limited financial resources so we have to be very conscientious of where we spend our dollars. We've done a decent job figuring out how to parent them (with the help of the Lord and decent examples from our own parents), but several years ago I noticed a need to tweak some of my parenting, esp. since one of our children was not responding to the usual techniques we used and some other unhelpful behaviors were showing up more frequently in some of our other children. Negative reactions were escalating as were the power struggles. I tried researching more information and praying about the problems, but did not find much help. A friend of mine mentioned your sight and I started looking at it. Most of the books I'd looked at before were extremely unhelpful, so I was skeptical. I tried some of the teaching self-government techniques I figured out from the website and found some success. After several months I finally splurged and bought the basic starter kit. We implemented it fully several months ago and there has been much more peace in our home. The children don't like the system still, but I think the atmosphere in our home has greatly improved. I don't get frustrated as often and the children are governing themselves much better. Thank you for sharing these key pieces of information. I've been passing it on to everyone who will listen.
