Family meetings often sound rigid or old-fashioned—but what if they were the key to deeper connection, trust, and teamwork at home? In this episode, Diane and Elaine share a modern, lighthearted approach to turning family meetings into something everyone looks forward to. With practical tips and a focus on communication (not control), you’ll learn how to create a safe space where every voice matters.

- Why connection, not correction, should be the goal of family meetings
- What happens when kids feel heard and involved in decision-making
- How rotating leadership empowers kids and builds real-life skills
