March 12, 2010 — Nicholeen Peck

As I was thinking about what question would beneficial to answer today on M*, I realized I had just answered questions this morning on television which might be of interest to M* readers.  Today my husband and I had a great day with Debbie and Ron on The KJZZ morning show hosted by KUTV2 news station.  I hope these video clips will be interesting and useful to you and your family.  Today’s topic was consequences and how to choose them.  Remember, “Home should be the safest place to make mistakes.”  (Parenting A House United)

Frustration When Friends Are Over -Working Out Disagreements

December 17, 2009 — Nicholeen Peck

Editor or Meridian Magazine said: “Editor’s Note: Nicholeen and Spencer Peck have been featured in a BBC television show called The World’s Strictest Parents—and their calm, principle-based parenting has made waves around the world ever since. Their segment of this show has been the most-watched of any.

I was so taken I watched the entire segment.
