Family Meeting

We occasionally call a "family meeting", and the girls always put their chairs on top of the couch for the discussion.  The purpose of the family meeting is usually to discuss an on-going behavior concern or simply plans for the weekend.  Especially when we are dealing with a behavior concern, we usually kick off the meeting by going in a circle and saying one nice thing about everyone in the family, including Leeo and Libby.  The girls LOVE this and often request we go around the circle 4 or 5 times spreading the love.

I'm certainly not claiming the family meeting concept eliminates bad behavior, but it does help us all come together and level-set to have a fresh start.
