FAMILY MEETING AGENDA

It is time to bring back the family meeting! 

We are a family, but it doesn't always feel that way. Sometimes it feels like we are all running our own race with the intensity of life.  The family meeting brings us back together so we feel connected and know what is going on with each others lives.

The ADHD brain is often an anxious brain.  They are worried about what is coming next.  Their brain is often comforted by routine and consistency.  Having a family meeting shows each family member what is coming up.  It also has the added advantage of sharing the family workload.

I use our family meetings as a time to reflect on positive things and collaboratively problem solve as a family.  A family is a team and this practice reinforces that.

We do these meetings on a Sunday night over dinner.  But it really doesn't matter when as long as it works for your family.

This simple process has so many benefits. It is something that my children look forward to and I love that it gives everyone a voice.  It takes about 20 mins for us over dinner.
