Family Meetings. They’re not just for emergencies anymore.

If you roll your eyes at the thought of holding a “family meeting”, this episode is for you. Family meetings are a simple but powerful way to counter the outsized influence of social media and peers on your kids. If you set them up right, family meetings can truly transform a family, but there are definitely some traps and pitfalls to avoid.

Julie walks through what an effective family meeting looks like (and just as important, what they aren’t) and how to get buy-in from wary family members who may be suspicious that they’re really just an excuse for the parents to yell at a captive audience.
