Rework Family Rules and Schedules Together
from The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
How to Apply This
-
Start a weekly family check-in on routines and feelings. Reserve a time to discuss what's working, what's stressful, and which tasks should be rotated or reconsidered. Keep it calm and solutions-focused.
-
Share out responsibilities, including who gets private time or space. Have each person choose or trade at least one responsibility—cooking, cleaning, organizing, even maintaining quiet zones for personal space.
-
Rotate ‘rules’ to practice flexibility. Try breaking from tradition: swap seats at dinner, try different wake-up times, or switch who decides on weekend activities. Notice how small adjustments affect the group’s mood.
