FHE: Grand Family Council Agenda

This past General Conference there was an amazing talk regarding Family Councils. I loved it! One of the stand out thoughts shared was: 

"When parents are prepared and children listen and participate in the discussion, the family council is truly working!"

You can watch the video here. THIS is the link to the Website to read/watch/listen to the talk by Elder M. Russell Ballard. It was AWESOME! Another great point is this:

Please remember that family councils are different from family home evening held on Mondays. Home evenings focus primarily on gospel instruction and family activities. Family councils, on the other hand, can be held on any day of the week, and they are primarily a meeting at which parents listen—to each other and to their children.

I believe there are at least four types of family councils:

First, a general family council consisting of the entire family.

Second, an executive family council consisting of a mother and father.

Third, a limited family council consisting of parents and one child.

Fourth, a one-on-one family council consisting of one parent and one child.

In all of these family council settings, electronic devices need to be turned off so everyone can look at and listen to each other. 

Here is the agenda I made for our Grand Family Council.

Make it a great one!
