A family meeting is nothing but a gathering of family members for the purpose of sharing news, making decisions, having fun with each other, or solving problems.
A family reunion schedule might include announcing upcoming school events, coordinating a family member's schedule for a week, deciding who will do errands, planning a family vacation or trip, or just a talking party.
For some families, Saturday dinner or Sunday breakfast is a family meeting, and others enjoy formal gatherings that can be good lessons in democratic participation. They stick the agenda on the fridge door, anyone can record any topic for discussion, and each family member takes turns acting as the boss so that everyone - even the child - can exercise power within the family.
Although I do not take advantage of meal times to hold family meetings to solve any problem, I encourage the existence of multiple opportunities for holding such family meetings. When you have a specific problem within the family that concerns one or two of its members, use the following method:
1- Define the problem. This is a somewhat sensitive topic. Before the meeting, parents should determine why this behavior is a problem.
2- Think of possible solutions. During the meetings the children may offer solutions to the problem, but parents will benefit from having a few good ideas that they have thought of in advance, and the solution should be related to the problem of course.
3- Determine the meeting time. Make this time as convenient for everyone as possible - Sunday afternoon, Friday evening or Saturday morning.
4- Sit with the family (or with the children involved in the problem), in a quiet place and thank everyone for coming.
5- Use a calm, neutral and firm tone of voice. Be ready to ignore all attempts to distract you from the problem.
6 - Explain the problem simply, clearly and briefly. State only the facts, and avoid name-calling, criticism, and sarcasm.
7- Ask for more ideas that could be solutions to the problem. Praise constructive ideas and explicitly ignore uncooperative suggestions.
8- Reach an agreement through compromise (compromising) or negotiation (two-way exchange of something you want in exchange for something the child wants).
9- Set a date for the next meeting. It should be three days to a week after the first meeting in order to assess how the agreement is going.
10- Thank the family members for coming to the meeting and solving the problem.
11- And very soon you will have a very fun and enjoyable family meeting!
