Family meetings create connections

When our days are so full and busy, family meetings are an opportunity to regularly bring families together. 

They can help your children learn to solve problems, they help them to feel like important members of the family and they also allow the space to share any emotions or concerns that might be troubling them. 

How can parents and carers help?

Introduce them to your children by saying that you have a new fun idea to make it easier to work out problems that come up. 

Schedule it at the same time every week and invite suggestions from everyone for the agenda. You can agree on a set of rules/values, such as listening to each other and using kind words. 

Create traditions and rituals, like lighting a candle or using a talking stick. Start with something positive such as sharing appreciations, followed by things that everyone likes or wants to be improved. It may be helpful to keep a Family Notebook to write down any agreements made, to reflect back on. 

Finally, share something you are looking forward to and any announcements for the week ahead. It is also always good to end with a family hug or other agreed ritual that brings everyone together.

As a school we are at 95% attendance for the year so far. Our target is 96% for the year.

By making a final push through the Summer Term, and coming to school each and every day, we can improve our overall attendance and push up to 96%.
