Family Meeting Agenda

Act as a family systems coach.

Family size and roles: [FAMILY]
Recurring frictions: [FRICTIONS]
What's working well: [WORKING]
What I want this meeting to accomplish: [GOAL]
Children's ages if applicable: [AGES]

Design a 30-minute family meeting:
1. Opening — a check-in that warms up without being cringe
2. Wins of the week — each person shares one
3. Anything to clean up — issues, hurt feelings, broken agreements
4. Logistics — calendar, schedules, who's where
5. Decisions to make together
6. One small commitment each person makes for the week
7. Close with appreciation

For each section:
- Time budget
- Prompt questions
- A trap to avoid (lecture, blame, parent-led monologue)
- An adjustment if kids are very young / teens / adults

End with 5 ground rules that keep these meetings going long-term.
