The 15-Minute Weekly Family Meeting Template That Actually Works
5 min read
Most family meetings fail because they try to do too much. This 15-minute, 4-part template just works.
The 4-part format
- Appreciations: each person names one thing about another
- Calendar: the week ahead, in one sentence per day
- One thing to solve: small, specific, kid-led if possible
- One thing to look forward to: closes on connection
Make it stick
Same time, same snack, same chair. Predictability is what turns it from a chore into a ritual.
