Their segment of this show has been the most-watched of any. Before we featured them in Meridian, I wanted to become acquainted, so I intended to watch a ten-minute segment on Youtube as they took two out-of-control British teenagers into their home for eight days.

Nicholeen, it’s good to see your calm but firm parenting approach is getting publicity.
Nicholeen-I just sat down to hear your interviews and my computer won’t link up to them :(. I enjoyed the article about you on Meridian. Congratulations! Thank you for sharing with us all your successful parenting wisdom.
I changed the links. Hopefully these will be better. Sorry about a bad link. I think they were incomplete for some reason. So sorry! Enjoy!
