The How and Why of Family Meetings

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Giangi Townsend

Regular family meetings can be fun and meaningful opportunities for parents and their children to get together. They can serve a lot of purposes from discussing important issues to strengthening and nurturing positive lasting relationships.

Benefits of Holding Regular Family Meetings

When family meetings have been effectivel organized they can be quite beneficial for everyone in attendance. They become opportunities for parents to demonstrate the kind of parenting their children will have someday.
Here is a short list of benefits:
It fosters curiosity in the child
It supports open communication and honesty
Teaches a child to become sociable
It allows them to practice communication skills
Creates opportunities for teamwork since everyone becomes part of a problem solving team
Teaches goal setting and planning to achieve goals
Grounds people in empathy learning how to understand others who may have a different point of view

Getting Over Obstacles

More often than not, the everyone in attendance will be reluctant to make family meetings a regular habit. Why is that so?
Well, based on my experience they just don't know what it is for and how to do it. Some kids may feel that family meetings as a kind of enforcement or policing by their mom and dad.
Some parents may also feel that it will lessen the level of their authority. It's like seeing the meeting as an excuse to control the children and enforce restrictions and rules.
But things don't have to be that way.
If you have the how and the why in place, you can overcome the initial resistance to this family habit. And maybe after making it a fun experience you can make it a regular thing in your family.
Here's how you can get it done.

Develop a Family Meeting Agenda

So you ask your kids to join you in a family meeting. They reluctantly agree and maybe they show very little enthusiasm for it at first.
The first thing that you should do is to grab a pen and paper and draft a family meeting agenda. I also found out that there are family meeting agendas that you can download online and print.
Make sure to ask your kids for agenda items that they would like to talk about. Here are a few suggestions:
Weekly chores
The family budget
TV time
Play rehearsals
Soccer games
Plans for the coming summer vacation
I only included some of the usual things that families talk about. You get to fill in the rest since each family is different.

Get on with the Meeting

Here are the steps on how you can conduct the meeting. Note that you can tweak things according to your needs.
1. Open the meeting. You can start the meeting with a ritual like a prayer, poem, a song, or maybe reciting your family values. You may also just start by greeting everyone in attendance and welcoming them.
2. Take time to thank each person in attendance.
3. Next is lesson time. Take time to teach a life lesson. It can be anything from how to tie your shoelaces, financial planning, to love and relationships. You can even ask one of your children to present a lesson next time.
4. Have a week in review. Ask everyone to tell how their week went.
5. Problem solving—talk about the items in your agenda.
6. Plan for the coming week.
7. Have a fun game, watch a movie, or just have some snacks.

Remember to make everything flexible. But make sure to give everyone (even the kids) the chance to speak their minds. Family meetings can be one of the uniquely memorable that you give to your children.
