About Nicholeen:

She has been trained and certified in using the “Teaching Family Model”, which was developed at Boys Town and is used by the Utah Youth Village. Nicholeen did foster care for very difficult teens. She taught children with ADHD, OCD, kleptomania, compulsive lying, anger control issues, etc. She said, “I taught behaviors, not medication. They would come to us on many medications and usually leave not on any medications. Many children are misdiagnosed. They just need to learn cause and effect better.” She has been teaching self government skills to people all over the country for 10 years and has a book on the subject coming out in December 2010.

Part One:
The Foundation of Effective Parenting: Family Mission...Creating Vision

· When I first started parenting my children and foster children, I tried to do everything just like the parenting books said, but for some reason my home still didn’t feel happy and peaceful like I wanted it to. There was a feeling of selfishness in the air. Even though we were able to effectively communicate, we were not united in purpose as an entire family. Over the years I have learned that effective, joyful parenting begins with something deeper than philosophy and psychology, which is where parenting principles are rooted. The foundation of parenting and the family is vision. Before I tell you all of the specific steps to Teaching Self Government, come see the future of your family. This class lays the foundation for Teaching Self Government; as well as changes the hearts and focus of your entire family.

Part Two:

Building Good Family Government

·The Family is the Learning Place. Then why do most parents feel like they are drowning in fights, attitude problems, whining, and disobedience? Before you can teach children how to govern themselves, you must create a system of government in your home. This class is designed to identify the problems your family system might be having and correct them, or to help you find the system your family will thrive with. Family Organization makes all the difference.

Part Three:
Teaching Self Government

·If we are constantly battling our children at home, how can we create an environment to build leaders? The most inspiring of all lessons taught in the home is that of a good parent/child relationship. There are no tricks to achieving children that govern themselves, while happily and willingly obeying the counsel of their parents. A working family government and atmosphere of acceptance and love turns the heart of a child to his/her parents. Don’t just parent your children; teach them the skills they need to govern themselves.

Part Four:

Raising Warriors for God

· Many Parents have a feeling that they are raising a generation of warriors. This is an exciting time. This is a difficult time. How do we raise a generation of warriors in these times of social mediocrity? We need to Raise up a Family unto the Lord. In this class we will discuss what our future warriors need to know to be ready for their call to action, and how to set up an environment that will make warriors.

Q & A section:

· The best part about live seminars is being able to get your questions answered. Nicholeen loves answering questions and is going to allow for a large amount of Q & A time. Maybe write down a few questions before you even come. If you have a hard parenting minute. Jot a note down and come to hear what Nicholeen and Spencer would do.
