Hints & Tips

Family Meetings

Keeping track of the family activities, policies and problem solving can be a challenge. Many families meet this challenge by holding a weekly family meeting. Start when your children are young. The earlier, the better! Take notes or keep a "journal" so family members don't forget what was discussed and what was decided. Especially if it involves a family "policy" change. Keeping everyone informed and "on the same page" makes for better harmony at home.
