Creating a healthy home environment where your family feels connected and well cared for takes time, effort, and commitment. Family life can be busy, though, and sometimes it’s difficult to keep up with everyone and everything going on. So how do you keep day-to-day life running smoothly?
Well, one solution is to conduct regular family meetings. Every family’s meeting will be unique to them, but here are some things we’ve tried over the years to help us reap the most rewards from this time together.
Encourage Participation
Introduce the idea to your kids a few days before you’d like to hold the first meeting, and encourage participation. What’s the key to getting your kids to participate? Make it sound fun! Make up some simple DIY invitations and hand them out. Get excited, and your kids will, too.
