One of the best books on family meetings!

The is one of the best books on family meetings that I have seen in a long time. I interviewed the authors on my radio show "Parent Talk" when the book was first released in 2002 and I continue to recommend it to parents in my "Love, Limits, and Lessons" parenting class. It is unfortunate that the publisher did not continue with it and this book is now out of print. Purchases used copies while you can!

wonderful!

Many experts recommend that families have meetings on a regular basis, but have you ever wondered how to go about doing this in a constructive way? This book is a great tool to get you started! It will not only help you keep track of your weekly discussions and decisions, but it will also help you plan your menus together as a family, and there are great discussion ideas for each meeting to help encourage good communication between family members. There are logs to keep track of the upcoming activities for the week, and many tools that you can make copies of and use repeatedly, such as chore charts, trip and party planners, bank account logs, and much much more! Although it takes a lot more than a book to keep a family running smoothly, this book would surely help out!!!

Fantastic Resource for Families

I love the ideas in this book. In addition to giving a format for family meetings, it also gives the reader very value-oriented topics to discuss during the meetings. It is a great tool for any family who wants to start these kind of meetings and it is equally as helpful to those already having these meetings (like my family). Great ideas!
