Family Calendar for Family Communication
It’s 5 pm and you are headed home from work! Who will be there when you get there? Where did they go if not? What’s going on this weekend for you and your kids?
Its time for your family calendar.
Why use a family calendar?
We all know we live in a busy world. Being busy sometimes means we are not able to communicate as consistently or effectively as we need. Here comes the concept behind the family calendar. It is the one spot where everyone’s activities are recorded and the connections created. Having a family calendar posted where everyone can see it means that there is subliminal information being shared! It works best when the family holds a weekly gathering to add information. Don’t be deterred by trying to find a day and time to meet. Set a time on the weekend, when there is a little more flexibility, and just be sure to hold your meeting each week. If you are using a technology calendar, no problem! Simply print out the week or month at a glance and post it. Now you have the best of all, an on the go calendar and one for everyone to see!

No matter how much or how little your family does, a calendar gives you a spot to see it all. It’s easy to know goes where and when.
