## Prompt

```text
Help me start weekly family meetings that kids actually want to attend.

**Family members and ages:** [DETAILS]
**Why I want meetings:** [e.g. "constant arguing", "chaotic schedules", "kids feel unheard", "planning outings"]
**Time available:** [e.g. "20 minutes Sunday evening"]
**Topics on the table right now:** [ISSUES OR PLANS]
**Kids who tend to dominate or go quiet:** [optional]

Give me:
1. A 15-25 minute agenda: appreciations, calendar for the week, one problem to solve, a fun decision (meal, outing), and a quick close.
2. Rotating roles for kids (leader, note-taker, timekeeper) matched to their ages.
3. Ground rules written in kid-friendly words, such as one person talks at a time and no blaming.
4. A simple problem-solving method: describe the problem, everyone suggests ideas without judging, choose one to try for a week, review next time.
5. A script for the very first meeting, including how I'll explain why we're doing this.
6. Tips for keeping it going: keep it short, end on a good note, make sure quieter kids get a turn, and don't use it to lecture or punish.
7. A one-page template for meeting notes and agreed actions.

Keep the tone warm and light. Serious issues (like safety or a parent's personal matters) should be handled between adults first.
