Weekly Family Meetings

A weekly family meeting is a time to be together, check in, and address any issues that arise.

*  Make the meeting fun: Plan a special dessert to enjoy. Create a relaxed mood with special lighting or comfy pillows.

*  Have an agenda: While you don’t want the meeting to be too formal, you should have a schedule to keep you on task.

*  Get everyone involved: Let people take turns leading discussions. Encourage input and prioritize creative problem-solving.

*  Set a respectful tone: This is a good time to practice resolving conflict with respect and consideration.

*  End on a good note: If a tough topic needed to be addressed, be sure to end with something positive. Talk about fun upcoming events or brainstorm vacation ideas.
