One Sunday our family attended a rare, two hour long church meeting. My children are very used to sitting quietly through one hour church meetings, but sometimes they struggle a little bit on a two hour meeting.



About three quarters through the meeting this past Sunday my eight year old son asked if he could go to the bathroom.

Parenting Myths: Living A Lie VS Parenting Facts

3 Comments / All, Home Culture, Relationships, TSG Principles, Using TSG Skills /

What does “living a lie” mean? It is when we believe something that is not true and which controls our thoughts, feelings, and other beliefs. For example, when I was pregnant with our first child, I would sit in church and notice that a boy was wearing white socks with a suit, and I thought, “My son would never do that,” or a little child with a dirty face, and I thought, “My children will have clean faces in church”.

Family Structure Definition: Nicholeen Peck on TV

Leave a Comment / All, Using TSG Skills /

Changing family structure can be difficult. Our parenting habits probably started in our childhood. And, even when we promised we wouldn’t do the same thing, practice the same negative parenting styles, we don’t always know a different way. There are multiples types of family structures out there to choose from.Since there are many some parents can get overwhelmed.

How do parents know if the chosen structure will actually work?

4 Comments / All, Relationships, TSG Principles, Using TSG Skills /

The Parenting Question

Justice or mercy? That is the question. When your child gets frustrated at his sister and hits her does he need justice or mercy? When your youth comes home from a date after curfew does she need justice or mercy? How do parents balance these two truths? Which principles are the parent secrets for raising children? Is justice or mercy the key for how to become a good parent?

[video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxex1Q6E9rY] See the book and hear what Londyn and Porter think about it. This book about teaching children self control has been a year in the making, but it is finally ready to own. Comments about how wonderful the book is keep rolling in each day.

Some parents say their children beg for it over and over again. Others say their children are happy to see another family using the Four Basic Skills.

The most common response I get from parents is:

Do As I Say, Not As I Do. Parenting Radio!

1 Comment / All, TSG Principles, Using TSG Skills /

Recognizing good parenting principles is the easy part! Actually living them is something else entirely.



I know none of us want to admit it, but it is really easy to become a lazy mother or a lazy father in today’s fast paced society. What can we do to keep in touch with our own parenting?



In this conference call segment I talk about the most popular kind of parenting in the world today; pedantic parenting.

Quin really wanted to go shoot hoops with his friend. What fifteen year old boy doesn’t?

OT: How To Motivate Students To Learn

4 Comments / All, School, Using TSG Skills /

This might seem off topic, but I don’t know if it really is. I think having motivated students is something all parents work for. The question was posed to me: Nicholeen, what do you do to prepare your teenage youth for academic success?

On a recent conference call I went into great detail on the subject. As a special treat I have the recording of that call to share with you today.
