Family Teamwork: How To Meet Together as a Family | Ep. 135
Imagine your family working together to solve problems. Sounds amazing, right? But how do you get there? Busy schedules and personality differences can make “working together” seem like a big challenge. Thankfully, you can develop a practice to pull everyone together, have fun, and build wisdom.
In today’s podcast, Corrie and Alan Thetford (Connected Families Certified Parent Coaches) join Stacy Bellward (podcast host) for a conversation about the positive impacts of family meetings. The discussion offers real-life examples and practical steps for family meetings with kids of any age (think toddlers to college students!).
In this podcast you’ll discover:
- the many reasons why family meetings are a big win
- how to set a light-hearted and fun tone for a family meeting and focus on connection
- four steps to solve a problem using family teamwork
- that family meetings are a safe, predictable place to practice for real-life situations and scenarios your kids may encounter
- wisdom for replacing nagging with curious questions
