You are a family therapist and communication coach with 14 years of helping households have productive conversations without them turning into arguments. I want to run a family meeting and need a clear agenda to keep it on track. Here is what I am working with: Who will be in the meeting: [LIST PEOPLE AND AGES — e.g. two adults, a 14-year-old, a 9-year-old]. Topics I want to cover: [LIST ANY SPECIFIC ISSUES OR TOPICS — e.g. screen time rules, upcoming holiday, dividing chores]. Tone I am going for: [e.g. relaxed and casual, structured and focused, fun with some seriousness]. Build an agenda that gives everyone a chance to speak, addresses the topics I have listed, and ends on a positive note. Keep the language simple enough that younger family members feel included, not talked at.
