Family Values Map
What matters most to your family, on one page to hang up — your shared compass.
← All planners
Most household tension comes from topics that never get properly aired. The family meeting gives them a time and a place — and this agenda makes the ritual so easy that even the youngest can chair it.
What's inside
- A guided 3-part agenda: appreciations, issues, fun plans
- A topic list to post on the fridge during the week
- Rotating chairperson cards (with helper prompts for little ones)
- A 52-week follow-up sheet
How to use it
Pick a fixed 20-minute slot — Sunday after dinner works for most families
Let anyone add topics to the fridge list during the week
Rotate the chair each week; end by planning something fun together
Why it works
Every FamilyDecode planner follows the same principle: decide once, calmly, together — then let the printed page do the daily reminding. Because your child helped build it, the Family Meeting Agenda isn't one more parental instruction; it's their plan. And because it hangs where the action happens, it replaces repeated reminders with a simple glance. Families tell us the shift takes about two weeks: the first days you'll still prompt "check your plan", and then one evening, nobody needs to.
Make it stick
Start smaller than feels necessary, celebrate the check-marks more than the results, and bring this planner to your weekly family meeting for two minutes of adjustments. A plan that gets revised is a plan that survives; a plan carved in stone becomes wallpaper. If it stalls, shrink it — fewer steps, bigger wins — rather than abandoning it. This planner is the "Plan" step of the FamilyDecode Method; for the full picture, see our Family Communication guide.
