1. Invite your kids.
Explain to your children that you have a fun idea to make it easier to work out problems that come up. Make sure you serve a delicious and festive snack, and keep it short and fun. Over time, as your children get older and everyone enjoys the meetings, they can get longer.
2. Schedule it at the same time every week.
That way, even if you skip it, working it in the next week will be easy. For instance, make Sunday evening dinners your family meeting.
3. Invite suggestions for the agenda.
Post a sheet of paper low enough on your refrigerator that everyone in the family can reach it. As you go through your week, notice issues that come up, and say "That might be a good thing to talk about at our family meeting..I'm going to add this to our agenda." If the issue is between your children, you can ask "Would you two like to put this on the agenda for our family meeting?"
This is not the time to bring up a behavior issue that concerns only one child. In fact, most items that are important to parents will get solved out-side of family meetings. These are primarily forums for kids to get help solving issues that aren’t working for them in your home.
Don’t let negative issues always dominate, or kids will stop enjoying the meetings. So keep a list of pleasant topics— how to plan the family trip coming up, who’s going to cook for Mom’s birthday— and be sure to add one of those to the agenda every week.
