I love having family council, and the organization and closeness it helps bring into our family.  Even though our kids are very young and they don't get much out of it, I still have them around and participate when necessary.  We use the form I created, once a month, usually the last Sunday of the month.

I love having family council, and the organization and closeness it helps bring into our family.  Even though our kids are very young and they don't get much out of it, I still have them around and participate when necessary.  We use the form I created, once a month, usually the last Sunday of the month.



I have really been thinking a lot about how to raise our family so that we are closer and so that our children feel like they can confide in each other and us as parents.  With this thinking has come to mind the need to have a family council night.  We have done calendaring and scheduling but it wasn’t going quite where I wanted to.  But how do you get to where you want to go if you don’t know how to get there!  So I went searching.  I didn’t have to search very far or long before I came upon a pin that had great suggestions.  It is a printable with a personal interview sheet as well.  Thank you Miss Poppins for this post it has really given me the start that I needed. 


I real love the steps mentioned in this printable, but as we were having our first family council using this guide, I kept feeling like I was grabbing all kinds of papers to jot things down on.  So I decided to use the same information, but typed it in a way that it would be easy to write down what you’re talking about in each step.  I hope that makes sense. 

For our family council I found it helpful to have a calendar on hand, so I also have one included with the form.  It is also helpful to have your families goals, and also a pen.  You could also use some type of planner.  

I hope this helps you feel like you have more of a foundation for your family council nights!!
