*Yell-Free Year Challenge Daily Tip* Creating a positive family culture is key to building happy, healthy families. Positive, loving, supportive, healthy families dont just happen; they take a lot of intentionality. Today, we continue our series on creating a positive family culture. Tip #6 Regular Family Meetings Starting regular family meetings solves problems, builds solidarity, reduces stress, and reinforces family values. During a family meeting, children know that their opinions matter, and family meetings further solidify their place in the family unit. Dont expect perfect meetings where everyone gives their full attention and effort, especially if you have young children! Even if your family meetings are less than idyllic, there’s still value in having them. You would be surprised how much your kids are absorbing even when they dont appear to be paying much attention. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Go into your family meetings with reasonable expectations. Expect a little chaos from time to time and just do the best that you can. Just because you may not see immediate benefits, this doesn’t mean you haven’t sewn some amazing seeds that will bear the fruit of family love in the future.
