My Review:
Did you ever see that seemingly perfect family at church on Sunday and wonder why oh why does that family arrive perky, perfect and punctual and I can barely get my family to church awake and clean? How does this family do it every stinking Sunday? Maybe this family has read the go-to guide for creating a happy family, The Secrets of Happy Families, by Bruce Feiler.
The author has taken some of the best researched plans&ideas for happy family creating and show us proof that they work. Weekly family meetings is a real good place to start, especially if you have kids that have a hard time staying on task. These meetings are a good way for a parent to check-in on the child and make sure he/she is doing what was asked, make any corrections necessary and assign new tasks to the family as a whole.
To me this was a good idea because most families only have these "meetings" if someone is in trouble but this is a so much better idea. The author has compiled many more notions for us to consider to making our family and home a more pleasant place to be such as the right way to have a family dinner and branding your family, furniture arrangement& what that has to do with your family dynamic and many more.
This book is perfect for all families no matter what shape or size.
