What's inside

By the end of this meeting, everyone has been appreciated, knows the week's plans, has had a say in one decision and had some fun. The full agenda is drawn to scale above: every block has its own timer when you run it live.

How to run it

  1. 1Pick the same time each week, such as Sunday after dinner, and keep it to 20 minutes.
  2. 2Start with appreciations every time; it sets a warm tone before any problems.
  3. 3Take one problem per week and let children suggest fixes. Try the agreed fix for a week, then check back.
  4. 4Rotate who runs the meeting, including older children.
  5. 5Always end with something fun.

Questions people ask

What do you talk about at a family meeting?
Appreciations for each other, the week's plans, one problem to solve together, decisions everyone can have a say in, and something fun to finish.
How long should a family meeting be?
Fifteen to thirty minutes. Younger children lose interest after about 20, so keep it short and end before anyone is restless.
How do you get kids to take part in family meetings?
Start with appreciations, let children suggest solutions and options for votes, give them turns running the meeting and always end with something fun.
