How To Get Children To Behave
“HI Nicholeen. I have the biggest problem in implementing your method...
Friends,
So sorry about the education link not working before. We figured out the problem. Everything should be fixed now. Let's try this again. (BTW: if you are making a new account watch for an email to verify you are you. After clicking the link in your email, your account should be able to hear the call just fine.)
Take Two:
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.
For years now people have talked about making family mission statements. In books and on blogs we hear about the principles behind making a family plan and get inspired to try new things at home.
For this new year, I suggest taking another look at the family mission statement. A mission statement sums up your families most important goals and gives you renewed focus.
Eleven year old, Jacob, shares his New Years Resolutions ideas. I recently met Jacob's family and helped them learn some self-government principles. When I came to visit a second time he showed me his inspiring idea of how to keep himself motivated and focused on his self-government goals.
Question:
“Do you have any book suggestions for helping my children learn to want to be obedient?”
Answer:
I was asked this question a couple of years ago, and it got me thinking. I couldn't answer it. I didn't know of any must have kids books which would teach children the kinds of self-government skills they need to be happy obedient children.

Off Topic! A Christmas Article For Fun
...If you are like me, each gift you give at Christmas time has a meaning; a feeling of love wrapped up in it. My children give home made gifts of love which make me simultaneously smile and cry, because their love is so apparent in the gift. The more heart-felt the gift, the better it is.
Friends,
Question:
“Nicholeen, I have been trying to eat gluten free in order to help my child focus better. It's really hard, and my children don't like the food. They are super picky eaters. Are there yummy healthy food recipes for kids?
