We try to hold a family meeting on the weekend as often as we can. I’ve covered topics such as listening skills, attitudes of winners and losers, peacemaking skills, and conversational skills for my 8 and 10-year-old daughters. Their favorite part to-date has been role-playing bad listening skills with us – they’re experts!
Their second favorite thing is watching inspiring videos so I thought I would keep a collection of them here. Suggestions for new ones always welcome!
