This is our premiere Teaching Self Government Course. It takes about 8 weeks, though you can go at your own pace.
“Londyn LaRae Says Okay!” is the first in a four-book series of books highlighting basic skills. The captivating art and rhyming nature of this book are sure to make it one your children will beg you to read to them time and again.
Once a child understands how to appropriately accept “no” answers, they become more confident, less anxious, more connected to family and much happier.
If there is a key lesson in learning self-government, it is this skill — learning to accept consequences. If a child can’t accept a consequence, he can’t learn to self-govern, because what happens will always be someone else’s fault.
Little Paije likes to disagree. The problem is she doesn’t do it appropriately. She yells, whines and even pouts, but she doesn’t really know how to work her problems out.
They define our rights, obligations, responsibilities, beliefs, and even who we are. How well do we each understand our respective roles? How do we teach our children about proper roles? How would the problems children and parents face change if they better understood roles? Aren’t parents whether aggressive, passive or assertive always defining roles anyway? How do roles effect business relationships? Why do we see the roles in today’s world wrapped around so much confusion and debate when it’s impossible to escape roles? This book (published in 2016) makes roles easier to understand, and it shows how to strengthen roles and empower ourselves and those we live and work with to reach our full potentials.
The Teaching Self-Government Support Membership is designed to offer weekly TSG support for families as they are implementing self-government principles in their homes.
For many people, implementing a family self-government culture shift at home requires support. This is the reason Nicholeen made the TSG Parenting Course. She saw that families are more successful with self-government principles if they have support.

Is your home in crisis? Do your children never do what they are told? Do you find yourself completely overwhelmed and hating to interact with your children? Do your children treat you with disrespect and cause contention at home? Are you out of control of your emotions as a parent too?
If any of these descriptions sound like your house, then you might be in crisis and you will definitely benefit from reading this book. It is written for you.

"Londyn LaRae Says Okay!" is a children's picture book that helps parents teach their children to follow instructions. Little Londyn LaRae just can't seem to say "okay" when her parents and grandparents tell her to do chores or take on responsibilities. She seems to always get distracted in some way or another.
Paije Takes the Stage teaches children the principle of disagreeing appropriately. This is a principle mentioned in each of the other books in the "Teaching Self-Government: Four Basic Skills" four-book children's series, but is explored more in depth in this book. What is disagreeing appropriately? Just ask eight-year-old Paije.
Ten-year-old Quin has a problem not being able to accept consequences. He doesn't think things are his fault and always looks for someone else to blame. When he earns natural or synthetic consequences, like extra chores, he doesn't stay calm. He yells, pouts and can't drop the subject. If there is a key lesson in learning self-government, it is this skill — learning to accept consequences.
Children don't like hearing "no" when they ask for something, but it is a normal part of life. Many children whine, pout and get angry when they don't get their way. These negative actions can have a significant impact on a family’s well-being. Lovingly teaching children how to accept "no" answers is a vital part of creating happiness in the home. Once a child understands how to appropriately accept "no" answers, they become more confident, less anxious, more connected to family and much happier.

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.
For a few years now, we have offered cue cards for people to purchase at conferences and have had some basic downloads on the site as part of the Implementation Course.
These bonuses help you better understand or implement the skills and principles of Teaching Self-Government in your home.
