*Yell-Free Year Challenge Daily Tip* Creating a positive family culture is key to building happy, healthy families. Positive, loving, supportive, healthy families dont just happen; they take a lot of intentionality. Today, we continue our series on creating a positive family culture. Tip #7 How to Conduct the Family Meeting 1. Have the meeting at the same time, same place every week if you can. 2. Keep it between 15-20 minutes. Start and end on time so the kids dont get bored and they know what to expect. 3. Treat family meetings with respect and hold them at the table. If someone is disruptive, they should be dismissed. Little ones may leave and come back once. 4. Everyone has a job - chair person, secretary, time-keeper, treat getter, prayer leader. 5. Everyone is invited to the meeting but no one is required. You have the right to decline but the decisions made a the meeting apply to all members whether you were there or not. If you dont come, your contribution gets picked for you and you may not get our allowance. 6. Take a back seat and let the kids talk. This is a great time to open up the lines of communication! Tomorrow, a sample family meeting agenda!
