As parents deliberately trying to create the kind of family we want, there is one issue that we’re constantly faced with and will never be able to escape. This is by far the number one problem that parents ask me about after working to teach self-government in their home. It’s without a doubt the hardest thing any of us will ever do in this life. What is this number one issue? It’s taking command of our own personal self-government.

One of the most difficult parts of modern parenting is maintaining strong bonds with family members. We are not only busy, but have lots of distractions and ideologies that are tearing our family relationships apart right before our eyes. No matter the ages of your children, it’s never too early nor too late to build powerful bonding habits. In fact, building good bonding habits could be the very thing that gives your family the strength to be impenetrable during these difficult times.

Listen to this recording from a support call where Nicholeen talks about TSG Circles:
At the base of every great tale of success, you will find an indispensable circle of trusted advisors, mentors and colleagues.” –from “Who’s Got Your Back” by Keith Ferrazzi
A TSG Circle is a powerful mix of friendship, discussion and support group. Members expect to be challenged to grow and improve themselves and their families. All members are invited to learn from each other and share with the group equally. Honesty and a sincere desire for positive growth, concern for each other and a focus on the goal of greater self-governance are the only real requirements for group membership.
TSG Circles is a program we have been working on for a long time. We have been writing and gathering materials for discussion and support groups to begin all over the world.

This exclusive audio seminar has previously only been available to members of the TSG Support Group. It details the 5 Key Characteristics of raising and becoming a joyful adult. Many of you have heard Nicholeen say:
I am not making perfect children; they don’t exist. I am making joyful adults who know what their mission in life is and can’t wait to fight for it and have a solid relationship with God and family.
While teaching your children and yourself the principles of self-government is a big part of the process towards becoming joyful, there is more to it. Listen to this five-part audio seminar to better understand how you and your children can prepare to be joyful adults and better live your missions in life.

Do the popular parenting methods of today really work? Do they really teach us how to raise children well so that this generation of children become self-governing, responsible, happy adults?
Nicholeen examines popular parenting methods and the long-term results we can expect them to produce in our kids. She then invites the readers to start a parenting revolution in their own home, returning to the best parenting methods… methods that buck the popular parenting styles and restore our families and homes to places where children are trained to be responsible and self-governing.

When I did foster care, I had a hard time remembering the new vocabulary I was required to use to help these troubled youth, so I made some cue cards to help myself.
When I first started teaching people the language of self-government and I saw them struggling to remember the new words, I remembered how much cue cards had helped me in the past. These easy to use cards make using the TSG scripts much easier, especially when you need them most.
We recently added 3 new cards, for a total of 8 cards!

A family plan makes everyone feel secure and unified. Planning time is also a great time to improve relationships and strengthen bonds.

A family who plans together and regularly talks about those plans will find increased happiness and success in their family and personal lives.

“When I go speak to people around the country about the style of parenting I live in my home and the family culture I am passionate about, one of the biggest responses I get is, ‘I think I need self-government myself before I can teach it to my children.’
This is so true! It is hard to stay calm when you are under pressure and dealing with the stresses of raising children and living in our fast-paced world.

When my oldest child was four years old, I decided that he needed to be home-schooled. At this point, I started studying education and models for learning environments. I read every home school book and article I could get my hands on, because I wasn’t sure what teaching a home was supposed to look like or what principles to follow. How was I going to teach math? I have found that most parents who choose to home-school go through this same process. And I have found that most parents, including myself, get the most help by talking to someone who has already attained success.
