Today’s kids are busier than ever, and in many families, both parents work. Without time to deepen communication and strengthen family bonds, family relationships can become superficial and strained. Our Family Meeting Book helps families manage their time and priorities through short, weekly family meetings, a technique that therapists have recommended for years. Fifty-two agendas—one for each week of the year, though they may be used in any order—invite families to create traditions, resolve issues, review goals, make long-range plans, applaud accomplishments, build self-esteem and self-reliance in children, simplify and organize family matters, and promote important values: character development, mutual love and respect, and community responsibility and awareness. Full of original photographs and eye-catching illustrations, featuring many write-on pages, it’s a planning tool that becomes a written history of family life—and a treasured keepsake.
