If you’re tired of keeping track of where your family needs to be every day, try a family meeting!

Remember, it’s not all on you to keep things running smoothly.

Holding regular family meetings keeps everyone on the same page. There are so many things you can talk about.

• Weekly activities (sports, volunteer activities, etc.)
• Upcoming events (travel plans, holidays, birthdays)
• Household tasks (and who does what, when!)
• What’s going well / what’s not going well within the family

Each week, have a different family member run the meeting and take notes. Use a stuffed animal or a specific item to indicate whose turn it is to talk.

After a few weeks, your household just might start feeling a little more in control!

These meetings don’t have to last long. In our house, we hold them over dinner, often on Sunday evenings. And my kids’ attention span lasts maybe 10 minutes, if we’re lucky.

You could hold them every Friday afternoon and then have a game night or pizza/movie night. Do what works best for you and your family!

They key is to talk, together, about what it takes to run a family!
