Character Building with the Family Meeting Diary helps families become caring, close-knit and helpful. This 8 1/4" X 11" Diary outlines 52 ready to use family meetings to fill in and cherish. The Family Meeting Diary opens by praising each member for the positive actions he or she did the previous week. The family learns listening skills, how to solve family problems, and plan fun events together. The Family Meeting Diary ends with each member committing to a specific, positive action to "make the family better." These commitments are posted on the refrigerator as visual reminders to all family members. Jean Tracy says, "Parents have the power to do what no one else can do better. Parents can give hope to the future by building character in their children now." With less than 30 minutes per meeting per week, families produce and record a year of treasured historical meetings. This keepsake will hold what the family dealt with, which problems they solved, and what they promised to do to make the family better. Whether a single parent, a stepparent, an adoptive family, a foster parent, or a two-parent family, this Family Meeting Diary offers a powerful approach to building a strong, loving family with solid ties.

Clementine's having a nervous breakdown. The FAMILY MEETING! sign is up in her house, and she just knows she's in trouble for something. Has she been too mean to her little brother? Too sloppy? Eating too much junk food? Try as she might to find out what's on the agenda, her parents won't reveal anything before the meeting. As far as Clementine is concerned, the agenda should be something like: "We're getting a gorilla." But no, it's something entirely different. "We're talking about a new baby," says her father. "A brother or sister for you two. What do you think about that?" NO THANKS! is what Clementine thinks. After all, four is the perfect number for a family. There are four sides to a table, not five. Will Clementine learn to make room for one more? Readers will chuckle at Clementine's unique perspective on the age-old issue of sibling rivalry.
